    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 97-6701

    JIMMY TINSLEY,
    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    RON ANGELONE,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. James C. Turk, District Judge.
    (CA-96-119-R)
    Submitted:

    September 11, 1997

    Decided:

    September 23, 1997

    Before RUSSELL, MURNAGHAN, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Jimmy Tinsley, Appellant Pro Se. Katherine P. Baldwin, OFFICE OF
    THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
    relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1994) (current
    version at 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997)). 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 probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
    Tinsley v. Angelone, No. CA-96-119-R (W.D. VA. Apr. 14, 1997). See
    Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. ___, 1997 WL 338568 (U.S. June 23, 1997)
    (No. 96-6298). 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
