PER CURIAM:
Edward Hassan Graham seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’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
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 Graham v.
Angelone, No. CA-00-741-2 (E.D. Va. June 26, 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 jurisdiction of a magistrate
judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2001).
