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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
Bruce Walter Leikett seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 2002). 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 Leikett v. Angelone, No.
CA-01-484 (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 30, 2002 & entered May 1, 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
