William Lawrence Satterwhite, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Joan Elizabeth Evans, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia; Mark Ralph Davis, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

William Lawrence Satterwhite, Jr., appeals the magistrate

judge’s order denying relief on his

(1994) pe-

tition.* We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s

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

certificate of appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the

magistrate judge. See Satterwhite v. United States, No. CA-99-860-

3 (E.D. Va. July 10, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

DISMISSED

* The parties consented to proceed before a magistrate judge pursuant to

(c) (West 1993 & Supp. 2000).
