See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's order denying
relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed
the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no rever-
sible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause
to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. Robinson v. Virginia, No. CA-95-771-3 (E.D. Va. Dec. 19,
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
