    by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L.
    No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214. 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. Rhodes v. Bessinger, No. CA-95-2053-218AJ (D.S.C. Apr. 2, 1996). 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.
