Van Prince WELCH, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Ronald J. ANGELONE, Director of the Virginia Department of Corrections, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 01-6674.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Aug. 31, 2001.
    Decided Oct. 23, 2001.
    Van Prince Welch, pro se. Michael Thomas Judge, Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, Richmond, VA, for appellee.
    Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Van Prince Welch seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.2000). 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 Welch’s motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Welch v. Angelone, No. CA-00-668-2 (E.D.Va. Apr. 16, 2001). 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.
