Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
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 (1994) petition. We have reviewed
the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no revers-
ible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Jones
v. Hopewell City Circuit Court, No. CA-94-181-R (E.D. Va. Aug. 5,
1994). 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
