Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Charles S. Wright 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 Wright v. Angelone, No. CA-01-

339-2 (E.D. Va. Apr. 1, 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
