Clarence Joe DelForge, III, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH
CAROLINA, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Fred Wright, Jr. and Gregory Donnell Mebane appeal the dis-
trict court’s orders denying relief on their petitions filed under
28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinions accepting the recommenda-
tion of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Wright v. North
Carolina Attorney Gen., Nos. CA-97-536-2; CA-97-538-2 (M.D.N.C.
Apr. 1, 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
