PER CURIAM:
Stewart Russell Buchanan seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 2000) and denying reconsideration. We have
reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion accepting the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible
error. Further we deny Buchanan’s motions to alter the case cap-
tion of the instant appeal, and his motion for an advisory opinion.
We deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. See Buchanan v. Catoe, No.
CA-00-963-3-18BC (D.S.C. May 5 and 24, 2000). 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
