Before NIEMEYER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's orders1 denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition and denying reconsideration.2 We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeals on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Brock v. Pearson, Nos. CA-95-247-R; CA-95-326-R (W.D.Va. Aug. 16, 1995; Sept. 15, 1995). We deny Brock's motions for immediate relief, to remand, and for deconsolidation. 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

1

The parties consented to the magistrate judge's jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1988)

2

The magistrate judge found the reconsideration motion untimely. We find that it was meritless and affirm the order denying it on that basis
