GINIA, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Charles Richard Flint appeals the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinion adopting the report and recommendation of the mag-
istrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
on the reasoning of the district court. See Flint v. Painter, No.
CA-98-691-5 (S.D.W. Va. Sept. 29, 1999). 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.
AFFIRMED
