    George D. WILLIAMS, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Michael T.W. BELL, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 01-6146.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted April 12, 2001.
    Decided April 18, 2001.
    
      George D. Williams, pro se. Sandra Wal-laee-Smith, Assistant Attorney General, Raleigh, NC, for appellee.
    Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

George D. Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.2000). 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 a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Williams v. Bell, No. CA-00-307-5-F (E.D.N.C. Jan. 4, 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.
