Roger L. White, Appellant Pro Se. Mark Ralph Davis, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Roger L. White appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his petition filed under

(West 1994 &

Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. White v. Director, Va. Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-99-757-

7 (W.D. Va. June 20, 2000); see Warren v. Baskerville, F.3d

,

(4th Cir. Nov. 13, 2000). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
