PER CURIAM:
Jose Arellano seeks to appeal the district court’s judgment
and order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. §
2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the
district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the mag-
istrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-
soning of the district court. See Arellano v. Walker, CA-99-208-5-
BR (E.D.N.C. Feb. 25, 2000). 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
