    Charles Mason Jones filed a habeas corpus petition challenging his state conviction. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia denied relief. On appeal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reviewed the record and found no reversible error in the district court's decision. The Fourth Circuit therefore denied a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal, relying on the reasoning of the district court order that denied the habeas petition.

    Charles Mason Jones, Appellant Pro Se. Wirt Peebles Marks, IV,
    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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:
    Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
    his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1994), amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104132, 110 Stat. 1214. We have reviewed the record and the district
    court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
    a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Jones v. Green, No. CA-95-921-3 (E.D.
    Va. June 13, 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
