PER CURIAM:
Willie J. Daniels, Jr., seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’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
magistrate judge’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-
ingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. See Daniels v.
McDade, No. CA-00-230-1 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 26, 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
*
The parties consented to proceed before a magistrate judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993 & Supp. 2000).
