PER CURIAM:
John Stratton seeks to appeal the district court's order deny-
ing relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif-
icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. Stratton v. Warden, Buckingham Corr. Ctr.,
No. CA-95-1306-R (W.D. Va. Aug. 19, 1996). 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
