    This document is an unpublished opinion from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissing Ronnie Small's appeal of a district court's denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The appeals court reviewed the district court record and found no reversible error in the district court's acceptance of the magistrate judge's recommendation to deny the petition. The appeals court therefore denied a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal based on the reasoning provided by the district court in its January 17, 2001 opinion.

    Ronnie Small seeks to appeal the district courts order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West

    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 cer-

    tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning


    of

    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
