    George Luther Cook, III, Appellant Pro Se. Steven Andrew Witmer,
    OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for
    Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    George Luther Cook, III, seeks to appeal the district courts
    order denying his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West
    1994 & Supp. 1999).

    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 Cook v. Angelone, No. CA-99-105-2 (E.D.

    Va. July 29, 1999).

    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
