OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Derwin Jackson appeals the district court’s order adopting the
magistrate judge’s recommendation to deny 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 appeal-
ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. See Jackson v. Angelone, No. CA-99-366-2 (E.D. Va. Mar. 21,
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
