    by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L.
    No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214. We have reviewed the record and the
    magistrate judge's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal
    on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Stokes v. Angelone, No.
    CA-96-313-3- (E.D. Va. July 11, 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.
