PER CURIAM:
Robert J. Caprood seeks to appeal the district court's order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
Caprood's motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss
the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Caprood v.
Bessinger, No. CA-97-295-22BD (D.S.C. Oct. 16, 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
