    This document is a court case summary from the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. It denies Robert Barkley's appeal of a district court's denial of his petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. The appeals court reviewed the record and found no reversible error in the district court's acceptance of the magistrate's recommendation. It therefore denies Barkley's motion for a certificate of probable cause, denies a certificate of appealability, and dismisses the appeal based on the reasoning of the district court.

    William DUNCIL, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 96-6834.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted Feb. 27, 1997.
    Decided March 11, 1997.

    Robert J. Barkley, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.


    Scott E. Johnson, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WEST
    VIRGINIA, Charleston, WV, for Appellee.
    Before MURNAGHAN, NIEMEYER, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his petition
    filed under 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1994), 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 accepting the
    recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.
    Accordingly, we deny Appellant's motion for a certificate of probable cause,
    deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
    the district court. Barkley v. Duncil, No. CA-95-108 (N.D.W.Va. Apr. 15,
    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
