Tyrone Douglas Powe, Appellant Pro Se. Linwood Theodore Wells, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.

Before WIDENER, WILKINS, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's* order denying relief on his habeas corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994), as amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub.L. No. 104-132, 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 magistrate judge. Powe v. Angelone, No. CA-96-124-3 (E.D. Va. June 17, 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

*

The parties consented to the exercise of jurisdiction by a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 636(c) (West 1993)
