PER CURIAM:
Calvin Files seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-
ing relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 2000). 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 cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. See Files v. Angelone, No. CA-99-316-2
(E.D. Va. Mar. 31, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
