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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
George Henson, Jr., 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 Henson v. Angelone, No. CA-
01-59-3 (E.D. Va. Nov. 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
*
This case was decided by a magistrate judge exercising
jurisdiction upon consent of the parties. 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)
(1994).
