PER CURIAM:
James H. Baldwin appeals 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 recommendation of the magistrate judge and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Baldwin’s motion
for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. Baldwin v. Angelone, No. CA-01-
84-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 21, 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
