PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Peter Emmanuel Bernard seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988).1  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.2  Bernard v. Garraghty, No. CA-89-289-R (E.D. Va.  Mar. 10, 1992).  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

1
 The parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1988)

2
 Since we have considered Bernard's appeal in the normal course of the appellate process, we deny his motion to expedite
