PER CURIAM:

     Dwayne Anthony Childs appeals 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 Childs v. Angelone, No. CA-

00-822-2 (E.D. Va. Aug. 23, 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
