PER CURIAM:

     Dwain Lee Bryant seeks to appeal 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. Bryant v. Angelone, No. CA-01-388-

2 (E.D. Va. Jan. 22, 2002).    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
