PER CURIAM:

     Jon Terence Yahchanan Conrad seeks to appeal the district

court’s   order   denying   relief   on   his   petition   filed   under   28

U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998).           We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommen-

dation 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 Conrad v.

Moore, No. CA-98-2753-AJ (D.S.C. May 24, 1999).            We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                                   DISMISSED
