PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from 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 Appellant's motion
for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of ap-
pealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the dis-
trict court. Robbins v. Freeman, No. CA-96-762-5-F3 (E.D.N.C. Mar.
25, 1997). Further, we deny Appellant's motion for transcripts at
government expense and his motion for appointment of counsel. 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
