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
probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. Odom v. Evatt, No. CA-94-1787-2-2AJ (D.S.C.
Mar. 4, 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. The
motion for appointment of counsel is denied.
DISMISSED
