    ANDREW SULLIVAN,
    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA; ATTORNEY GENERAL OF
    THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
    Respondents - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    South Carolina, at Rock Hill.
    Charles E. Simons, Jr., Senior
    District Judge. (CA-96-3423-6BD)
    Submitted:

    October 23, 1997

    Decided:

    November 14, 1997

    Before HAMILTON and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior


    Circuit Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Andrew Sullivan, Appellant Pro Se. Donald John Zelenka, Chief
    Deputy Attorney General, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
    his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.
    1997). 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 appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
    Sullivan v. South Carolina, No. CA-96-3423-6BD (D.S.C. Apr. 24,
    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
