PER CURIAM:
Milton J. Sonnier seeks to appeal the district court’s order
adopting the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (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 certificate of
appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the
district court. See Sonnier v. Angelone, No. CA-01-843-2 (E.D. Va.
filed May 24, 2002, entered May 28, 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
