PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &
Supp. 1997). 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 ap-
pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. Tucker v. South Carolina, No. CA-96-1707-0-18BD (D.S.C.
Feb. 12, 1997). 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
