Ronnie C. Headen seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s * order denying relief *131 on Ms petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge’s opimon and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Headen’s motion for appointment of counsel on appeal, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasonmg of the magistrate judge. See Headen v. An-gelone, No. CA-00-672-2 (E.D.Va. Jan. 23, 2001). 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.
