OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Roger Bruce Herrell appeals 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. Accordingly, we deny
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the magistrate judge. See Herrell v. Angelone, No.
CA-01-24 (E.D. Va. filed Nov. 19, 2001; entered Nov. 20, 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
*
This case was decided by a magistrate judge exercising
jurisdiction upon consent of the parties. 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c)
(West 1993 & Supp. 2001).
