    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 01-7344

    DENNIS G. FOSTER,
    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,
    Respondent - Appellee.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Jackson L. Kiser, Senior District
    Judge. (CA-00-552-7)

    Submitted:

    December 19, 2001

    Decided:

    January 14, 2002

    Before WILKINS, LUTTIG, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Dennis G. Foster, Appellant Pro Se. Linwood Theodore Wells, Jr.,
    Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Dennis G. Foster appeals the district courts order denying
    relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 &
    Supp. 2001).

    We have reviewed the record and the district courts

    opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and


    find no reversible error.

    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

    appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Foster v. Virginia Dept of Corr., No. CA-00-5527 (W.D. Va. July 5, 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.

    DISMISSED
