PER CURIAM:
William Richard Marvin, III, seeks to appeal the district
court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28
U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommen-
dation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny Marvin’s motion for a certificate of appeal-
ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. See Marvin v. Angelone, No. CA-00-742-2 (E.D. Va. filed May
1, 2001; entered May 2, 2001). 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
