OPINION
PER CURIAM:


1
Ernest Lee Douglas appeals from a magistrate judge's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988).1  Our review of the record and the magistrate judge's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the magistrate judge.2  Douglas v. Deans, No. CA-86-49-C (W.D.Va. Sept. 25, 1991).   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.


2
AFFIRMED.



1
 The parties consented to jurisdiction of a magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2) (1988)


2
 We deny Douglas's motion to expedite.   We have reviewed this appeal consistent with the normal procedures of the Court
