OF WEST VIRGINIA, Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his habeas corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), as
amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996,
Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1217. 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 probable cause to appeal; to the extent that
a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certifi-
cate. We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
Moore v. Kirby, No. CA-94-1094 (S.D.W. Va. Feb. 27, 1996). We dis-
pense 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
