    No. 96-6798

    LONNIE MCDONOVAN GHOLSON,


    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    RONALD J. ANGELONE, Director of the Virginia
    Department of Corrections,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Rebecca B. Smith, District Judge.
    (CA-94-909-N)
    Submitted:

    August 22, 1996

    Decided:

    September 5, 1996

    Before HALL, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Lonnie McDonovan Gholson, Appellant Pro Se. Pamela Anne Sargent,
    Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
    relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1988), amended
    by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L.
    No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214. 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 the extent that a certificate of
    appealability is required, we deny such a certificate and dismiss
    the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Gholson v.
    Angelone, No. CA-94-909-N (E.D. Va. Apr. 18, 1996). 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
