Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Timothy A. Cobb appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &

Supp. 2000).    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 Cobb’s motion for

leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of appeal-

ability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.     See Cobb v. Director, Va. Dep’t of Corr., No. CA-99-1965

(E.D. Va. Aug. 29, 2000).    We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                          DISMISSED
