Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

       Joe Wesley McGibboney seeks to appeal the district court’s

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 dis-

trict court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge and find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we deny

leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of appeal-

ability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.   See McGibboney v. Attorney General of North Carolina, No.

CA-98-88-1 (M.D.N.C. July 24, 1998).         We dispense with oral argu-

ment   because   the   facts   and   legal   contentions   are   adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

                                                                  DISMISSED
