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. Haynes
v. South Carolina, No. CA-94-2390-3-6BC (D.S.C. Nov. 17, 1995). We
deny Appellant's motion for an investigation, along with his "In-
formal Motion" that a subsequently filed appeal be required to be
considered by a separate panel. 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
