Sylvester Lewis, Appellant Pro Se.  Michael Thomas Judge, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, VA, for Appellee.
Before LUTTIG and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:


1
Appellant seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's order denying relief on his habeas corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), as amended by Act of Apr. 24, 1996, 28 U.S.C.S. § 2254 (Law Co-op Advance Sheet June 1996).  We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no reversible error.  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal;  to the extent that a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certificate.  We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge.  Lewis v. Angelone, No. CA-95-655-3 (E.D.Va. Dec. 15, 1995).  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
