PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's* order deny-
ing relief on his habeas corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994),

as amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of
1996, Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214.    We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Powe

v. Angelone, No. CA-96-124-3 (E.D. Va. June 17, 1996). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED

      The parties consented to the exercise of jurisdiction by a
magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993).
