    PER CURIAM:
    John Stratton 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. Stratton v. Warden, Buckingham Corr. Ctr.,
    No. CA-95-1306-R (W.D. Va. Aug. 19, 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.

    DISMISSED
