Henry Christian Olsen, Appellant Pro Se. Leah Ann Darron, Assistant
Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Henry Christian Olsen appeals the district court’s order

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

1994 & Supp. 2001).    We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge and find no reversible error.          Accordingly, we deny a

certificate   of   appealability   and   dismiss   the   appeal   on   the

reasoning of the district court. See Olsen v. Angelone, No. CA-01-

310-7 (W.D. Va. Jan. 11, 2002).        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
