    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Joseph Johnson, Jr., seeks to appeal the magistrate judges
    order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254
    (West 1994 & Supp. 2000). The parties consented to jurisdiction of
    a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. 636(c) (West 1993 &
    Supp. 2000).

    We have reviewed the record and the magistrate

    judges opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny


    a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Johnson v. Larsen, No. CA-99-595
    (E.D. Va. Jan. 7, 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
