    Joe Earl Lewis, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Clarence Joe DelForge, III,
    OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North
    Carolin, for Appellee.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Joe Earl Lewis, Jr., seeks to appeal the district courts
    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 courts 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. Lewis v. Bell, No. CA-97-299 (E.D.N.C.
    Nov. 19, 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
