Robert Dale Strickler, Appellant Pro Se. Mark Ralph Davis, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

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

Supp. 1999).    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 Strickler v. Angelone, No. CA-98-454-2 (E.D.

Va. Apr. 30, 1999).           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

                                       - 2 -
