PER CURIAM:
Dwayne Anthony Childs 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 a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. See Childs v. Angelone, No. CA-
00-822-2 (E.D. Va. Aug. 23, 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
