PER CURIAM:
Willie Ray Ingram 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 accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning
of the district court. See Ingram v. South Carolina, No. CA-96-
2554-3-24BC (D.S.C. Nov. 1, 1999). We deny Ingram’s motion to ap-
point counsel and 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
