Gregory Fisher, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his *205 petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Fisher v. Angelone, No. CA-00-540-2 (E.D.Va. Nov. 30, 2000). 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.
