PER CURIAM:
Richard Claude Nodine seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254
(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 Nodine v. Miro, No. CR-01-1962-9-23 (D.S.C. May
24, 2002). We also deny Nodine’s motion for authorization to file
a second or successive application for post-conviction relief in
South Carolina courts. 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
