¶1 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.
¶2 DISMISSED.
¶3 The parties consented to proceed before a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993 & Supp.2000).
