Baldwin appeals the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Baldwin’s motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Baldwin v. Angelone, No. CA-01- 84-2 (E.D. Va. Sept. 21, 2001). 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 2
