PER CURIAM:
Shown Dywer Reed seeks to appeal the district court’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 district
court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See
Reed v. Angelone, No. CA-99-1708-2 (E.D. Va. 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
