PER CURIAM:

1

Reginald Thomas Harrison seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's* order denying relief on his petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994), as amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 114. We have reviewed the record and the magistrate judge's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Harrison v. Angelone, No. CA-95-648-3 (E.D.Va., Mar. 14, 1996). To the extent necessary we also deny a certificate of appealability. 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.

2

DISMISSED.
