PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994) (current
version at 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 ap-
peal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
Singletary v. Bessinger, No. CA-95-3232-3-18BC (D.S.C. Aug. 9,
1996). See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. ___, 65 U.S.L.W. 4557 (U.S.
June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). We dispense with oral argument be-
cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
