    of State of South Carolina,
    Respondents - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

    Submitted:

    August 28, 1997

    Decided:

    September 17, 1997

    Before WILKINS, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.


    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Willie J. Odom, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 seeks to appeal 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
    probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
    the district court. Odom v. Evatt, No. CA-94-1787-2-2AJ (D.S.C.
    Mar. 4, 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. The
    motion for appointment of counsel is denied.

    DISMISSED
