OPINION

PER CURIAM:

1

John Rodgers Burnley seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254.* Our review of the record and the magistrate judge's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Burnley v. Murray, CA-91-205-R (E.D.Va., Jun. 6, 1991). 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.

2

DISMISSED.

The parties consented to the magistrate judge's jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2)
