PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying 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 certificate of appealabil-
ity and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
Saunders v. Angelone, No. CA-95-1059-N (E.D. Va. Sept. 20, 1996).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
