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 the motion for a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-
ing of the district court. Wells v. Jones, No. CA-96-1003-5-H
(E.D.N.C. Apr. 25, 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 deci-
sional process. The motions for appointment of counsel, to proceed
in forma pauperis, and for an injunction are denied.
DISMISSED
