DISMISSED.
Before K.K. HALL, MURNAGHAN and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Edward A. Ganey, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254.  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.  Ganey v. Lee, CA-90-147-HC (E.D.N.C. Aug. 28, 1990).1   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.

2
DISMISSED.

1
 Because Ganey, in response to respondents' summary judgment motion, offered an explanation for why he failed to present these claims in earlier petitions, the district court's failure to give the notice required by Johnson v. Coppinger, 420 F.2d 395, 399 (4th Cir.1969), constitutes harmless error
