PER CURIAM:
Melvin Harris appeals the district court’s order denying re-
lief on 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 dis-
trict court. Harris v. Harrison, No. CA-99-3407-4-23BF (D.S.C.
filed Aug. 21, 2000; entered Aug. 22, 2000). 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.
DISMISSED
