Freddy L. Wambach, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Freddy Ludwig Wambach appeals the district court’s order ac-
cepting a magistrate judge’s recommendation to dismiss his petition
filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2000). 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 a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See
Wambach v. Smith, No. CA-00-301-1 (M.D.N.C. May 4, 2000). We dis-
pense 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
