Affirmed in part and dismissed in part by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Vonnie Ray Bullard 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. We therefore deny a certif- icate of probable cause and dismiss in part, and affirm in part on the reasoning of the district court. See Bullard v. Barker, No. CA-96-370-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Aug. 2, 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.
AFFIRMED IN PART, DISMISSED IN PART 2
