PER CURIAM:
Antonio Winslow seeks to appeal the district court’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 district
court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant
Winslow leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny a certificate
of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. See Winslow v. Angelone, No. CA-97-1095-2 (E.D.
Va. Sept. 22, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
