PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed
the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recom-
mendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Thompson
v. Angelone, No. CA-94-689-2 (E.D. Va. July 14, 1995). 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
