PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Anita G. Gallagher, Paul B.
Gallagher, and Laurence M. Hecht appeal the district court’s orders
denying relief on their petitions filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the voluminous record,
including the state habeas corpus petitions and accompanying
exhibits and the district court’s orders, and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we deny certificates of appealability and
dismiss the appeals on the reasoning of the district court. See
Gallagher v. Angelone, No. CA-98-195-R (W.D. Va. Oct. 7, 1998);
Gallagher v. Angelone, No. CA-98-44-R (W.D. Va. Oct. 7, 1998);
Hecht v. Angelone, No. CA-98-43-R (W.D. Va. Oct. 8, 1998). We dis-
pense 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
