See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Jackie Lewis Robinson seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254

(West 1994 & Supp. 2000).     We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge after a de novo review and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Robinson v. Warden,

No. CA-00-498 (W.D. Va. Nov. 30, 2000).     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
