James R. FINCHAM, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Howard PAINTER, Warden, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 02-6538.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted May 30, 2002.
    Decided June 10, 2002.
    James R. Fincham, Appellant Pro Se. Heather Dawn Foster, Assistant Attorney General, Dawn Ellen Warfield, Office of the Attorney General of West Virginia, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.
    Before WILKINS, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
   PER CURIAM.

James R. Fincham 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. See Fincham v. Painter, No. CA-00-55 (N.D.W.Va. Feb. 27, 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.
