PER CURIAM:

     Jeffrey Alan Taylor seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West

1994 & Supp. 1999).    We have reviewed the record, the district

court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate

judge, and the district court’s order denying Taylor’s post-

judgment motions, and we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeals on the

reasoning of the district court.       See Taylor v. Angelone, No. CA-

99-1359-2 (E.D. Va. May 24, 1999; July 13, 2000).        We also deny

Taylor’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis in No. 00-7081.       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
