PER CURIAM:
Shaheed James 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 James v. Angelone, No. CA-00-158-2 (E.D. Va.
Mar. 30, 2001). We deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and
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. The motion for
appointment of counsel is denied.
DISMISSED
