Reginald Thomas Harrison, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

Reginald Thomas Harrison seeks to appeal the magistrate

judge's* order denying relief on his petition under

(1994), as amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996,

Stat. 114. We have

reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable

cause and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate

judge. Harrison v. Angelone, No. CA-95-648-3 (E.D. Va., Mar. 14,

1996). To the extent necessary we also deny a certificate of ap-

pealability. 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

* The parties consented to disposition by a magistrate judge pursuant to

(c) (1994).
