PER CURIAM:
Jeffrey Alan Taylor seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record, the district
court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge, and the district court’s order denying Taylor’s post-
judgment motions, and we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeals on the
reasoning of the district court. See Taylor v. Angelone, No. CA-
99-1359-2 (E.D. Va. May 24, 1999; July 13, 2000). We also deny
Taylor’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis in No. 00-7081. 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
