OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Delvin M. Dalton seeks to appeal the magistrate court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Our review of the record and the magistrate judge's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Dalton v. Pruett, CA-90-540-CV-3 (E.D.Va. Apr. 11, 1991). 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.
