    Gene Stephen OWENS, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Commonwealth of VIRGINIA, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 00-7739.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted April 12, 2001.
    Decided April 17, 2001.
    Gene Stephen Owens, pro se.
    Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Gene Stephen Owens appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeala-bility and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Owens v. Virginia, No. CA-00-1396-AM (E.D.Va. Nov. 14, 2000). 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.
