PER CURIAM:
Thomas Reid DeCarlo 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 accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif-
icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. DeCarlo v. North Carolina Attorney General, No.
CA-97-1139-1 (M.D.N.C. Jan. 28, 1998). 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
