PER CURIAM:
Preston Mills seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254
(2000).* We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the magistrate judge. Mills v. Angelone, No. CA-01-
453 (E.D. Va. May 2, 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
