UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 01-7515

MELVIN LEE JONES,

Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

RONALD J. ANGELONE, Director of the Virginia Department of Corrections,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Henry C. Morgan, Jr., District Judge. (CA-01-372-2)

Submitted: August 15, 2002 Decided: August 19, 2002

Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Melvin Lee Jones, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Melvin Lee Jones appeals the district court’s judgments

dismissing without prejudice his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.

§ 2254 (2000) and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. See Jones v. Angelone, No. CA-01-372-2 (W.D. Va.

filed Aug. 22, 2002; entered Aug. 23, 2002 & July 2, 2002). 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
