Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: LeRoy A. Pinckney 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. Pinckney v. Moore, No. CA-97-1177-10-18BD (D.S.C. Mar. 16, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
