OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's order denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition.* We have reviewed
the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no rever-

sible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magis-

trate judge. Anderson v. Warden, No. CA-93-759 (E.D. Va. Sept. 26,
1995). 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.




                                                           AFFIRMED




    *
      The parties consented to disposition by a magistrate judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1988).
