PER CURIAM.
Timothy Clarence Allison seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting Respondent’s motion for summary judgment and 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 appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Allison v. Hughes, No. CA-00-132-MU (W.D.N.C. Sept. 8, 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.
