Respondents - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert R. Merhige, Jr., Senior District Judge. (CA-96-449)

Submitted: December 30, 1998 Decided: January 15, 1999

Before WILKINS and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Peter Buscemi, MORGAN, LEWIS & BOCKIUS, Washington, D.C., for Ap- pellant. Debra Jean Prillaman, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Robert E. Platshorn appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his

(1994) petition. We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recom-

mendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Platshorn v. Hahn, No. CA-96-449 (E.D. Va. Dec. 1, 1997). We dis-

pense 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.

AFFIRMED
