PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.
1997). 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 appealabil-
ity and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
Robinson v. Virginia, No. CA-96-1035-R (W.D. Va. July 1, 1997). 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
