See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Felix J. Praylow seeks to appeal the district court’s
order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000).
We have independently reviewed the record and conclude on the
reasoning of the district court that Praylow has not made a
substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See
Praylow v. Condon, No. CA-02-3308-4-25 (D.S.C. Oct. 29, 2004).
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (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
