Way’Lon Levar Harris, Appellant Pro Se. Robert H. Anderson, III,
OFFICE 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

     Way’Lon Levar Harris seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

(West 1994 & Supp. 2002).       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 Harris v. Angelone, No. CA-01-

726-2 (E.D. Va. filed May 13, 2002; entered May 14, 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
