Keith Jerome White, Appellant Pro Se. Virginia Bidwell Theisen,
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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

     Keith Jerome White 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. White v. Angelone, No. CA-01-382-

2 (E.D. Va. Mar. 19, 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
