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
