Troy Anthony Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. Hazel Elizabeth Shaffer, Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Troy Anthony Johnson appeals the district court’s order

denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59 motion for reconsideration of its

order dismissing his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001)

petition. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a

certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court. Johnson v. Angelone, No. CA-01-54

(E.D. Va. Dec. 11, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

DISMISSED
