OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Javaros L. Thomas appeals the district court’s judgment
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 final order 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 Thomas v. Angelone, No. CA-
01-585-2 (E.D. Va. Apr. 10, 2002). 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
