PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed
the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recom-
mendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Vinson
v. Witkowski, No. CA-94-2260-6-1AK (D.S.C. Aug. 16, 1995). We also
deny Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel on appeal. 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
