Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the magistrate judge’s order denying relief

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

1998).* We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s

memorandum and order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the magistrate judge. Cain v. Angelone, No. CA-97-317

(E.D. Va. Apr. 10, 1998). We deny Appellant’s motion for assignment

of counsel.   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 the magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(2) (1994).
