Joe Facen, Jr., appellant Pro Se.

Leah Ann Darron, Asst. Atty. Gen., Richmond, VA, for appellee.

Before WIDENER, HALL, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

¶1

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 (1988) petition. 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 probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Facen v. Angelone, No. CA-94-898 (E.D.Va. Mar. 1, 1995). In view of our disposition of this case, we also deny Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel. 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
