    Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

    Kevin D. Burckhalter, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Kevin D. Burckhalter appeals 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.

    See Burckhalter v. Taylor, No. CA-98-1416-6-

    17AK (D.S.C. Aug. 18, 1998).

    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
