Walter R. Coleman, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Cauthorne Daniel,
Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's order denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed

the record and the magistrate judge's opinion, entered pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1988), and find no reversible error. According-

ly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss
the appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Coleman v.
Angelone, No. CA-95-141 (E.D. Va. June 21, 1995). We deny Appel-

lant's motion for oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
