Before WILKINSON and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's* order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 (1988) petition.  Our review of the record and the magistrate judge's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge.  Thomas v. Wright, No. CA-92-680-3 (E.D. Va.  Oct. 6, 1993).  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
