Frank Weathers, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Frank Weathers seeks to appeal a district court order adopting
a magistrate judge’s recommendation to deny relief on his petition
filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997), and a sub-
sequent order denying relief on Weather's "Motion to Reconsider,"
broadly construed as a motion to alter or amend judgment pursuant
to Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on
the reasoning of the district court. Weathers v. Moore, No. CA-96-
3720-18BC (D.S.C. May 9 and June 3, 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
