PER CURIAM:
Dennis Eugene Ross 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 magistrate
judge’s opinion* and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the magistrate judge. Ross v. Angelone, No. CA-00-
349-2 (E.D. Va. Apr. 12, 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
*
The parties consented to the magistrate judge’s jurisdiction
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
