Edward Hassan Graham, Appellant Pro Se. Eugene Paul Murphy, OFFICE
OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Edward Hassan Graham seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’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

magistrate judge’s opinion and find no reversible error.    Accord-

ingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge.     See Graham v.

Angelone, No. CA-00-741-2 (E.D. Va. June 26, 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

     *
       The parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate
judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2001).
