PER CURIAM: In these consolidated appeals, Anita G. Gallagher, Paul B.

Gallagher, and Laurence M. Hecht appeal the district court’s orders denying relief on their petitions filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the voluminous record, including the state habeas corpus petitions and accompanying exhibits and the district court’s orders, and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny certificates of appealability and dismiss the appeals on the reasoning of the district court. See Gallagher v. Angelone, No. CA-98-195-R (W.D. Va. Oct. 7, 1998); Gallagher v. Angelone, No. CA-98-44-R (W.D. Va. Oct. 7, 1998); Hecht v. Angelone, No. CA-98-43-R (W.D. Va. Oct. 8, 1998). 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.

DISMISSED
