    Department of Corrections,

    of

    the

    Virginia
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Raymond A. Jackson, District
    Judge. (CA-01-769-2)

    Submitted:

    April 18, 2002

    Decided:

    April 30, 2002

    Before MOTZ, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Robert E. Seaton, Appellant Pro Se. Linwood Theodore Wells, Jr.,
    Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Robert E. Seaton seeks to appeal the district courts order
    denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West
    1994 & Supp. 2001).

    We have reviewed the record and the district

    courts opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate


    judge and find no reversible error.

    Accordingly, we deny leave to

    proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of appealability, and


    dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
    Seaton v. Angelone, No. CA-01-769-2 (E.D. Va. Jan. 23, 2002).

    See
    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
