PER CURIAM:

     William Lawrence Satterwhite, Jr., appeals the magistrate

judge’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) pe-

tition.*   We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s

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

certificate of appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the

magistrate judge. See Satterwhite v. United States, No. CA-99-860-

3 (E.D. Va. July 10, 2000).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          DISMISSED




     *
       The parties consented to proceed before a magistrate judge
pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993 & Supp. 2000).
