Anthony Denaro Freeman, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

     Anthony Denaro Freeman seeks to appeal 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 Freeman v. Angelone, No. CA-

01-276-2 (E.D. Va. Mar. 20, 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
