    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 96-7877

    TROY R. SUTTON,
    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    RONALD J. ANGELONE, Director of the Virginia
    Department of Corrections,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Robert G. Doumar, Senior District
    Judge. (CA-96-408-N)
    Submitted:

    May 29, 1997

    Decided:

    June 6, 1997

    Before NIEMEYER, LUTTIG, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Troy R. Sutton, Appellant Pro Se. Richard Bain Smith, Assistant
    Attorney General, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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.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 appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
    court. Sutton v. Angelone, No. CA-96-408-N (E.D. Va. Dec. 10,
    1996). 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. We deny
    the motion for appointment of counsel.

    DISMISSED
