    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
    relief on his 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1988) petition. 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 appeal and
    dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Lucas v.
    Evatt, No. CA-94-3243-2-17AJ (D.S.C. June 29, 1995). 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
