George D. Gates, Appellant Pro Se. Yiris E. Cornwall, Catherine DeRoever Wood, Assistant United States Attorneys, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

George D. Gates appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

dismissing Gates’

(2000) petition, and its

orders denying Gates’ motions for reconsideration. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons state by the district court. Gates v.

Stansberry, No. 1:07-cv-01212-LO-TCB (E.D. Va. May 23, 2008;

filed June 17, 2008; entered June 19, 2008; filed June 30, 2008;

entered July 1, 2008). 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.

AFFIRMED
