PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the magistrate judge’s order denying relief
on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.
1998).* We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s
memorandum and order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the magistrate judge. Cain v. Angelone, No. CA-97-317
(E.D. Va. Apr. 10, 1998). We deny Appellant’s motion for assignment
of counsel. 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

The parties consented to the jurisdiction of the magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2) (1994).
