PER CURIAM.
Michael Ray Williams 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 Williams’ motions for appointment of counsel and for a certificate of appealability, and we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Williams v. Jackson, No. CA-00-170-5-F3 (E.D.N.C. Jan. 17, 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.
