DISMISSED.
Before MURNAGHAN, HAMILTON, and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petitions. In No. 92-6948, our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses that the appeal is without merit. Similarly, in No. 92-7072, our review of the record and the magistrate judge's opinion discloses that the appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny certificates of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeals on the reasoning of the district court and the magistrate judge.* Pruitt v. Murray, No. CA-91-571-2 (E.D. Va. Aug. 31, 1992); Pruitt v. Virginia Dep't of Corrections, No. CA-91-404 (E.D. Va. Sept. 22, 1992). 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
*In No. 92-7072, with respect to Pruitt's claim that his good time credits were lost, we note that good time credits are forfeited after return from escape from any correctional facility.
