DISMISSED.
Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
David Adams 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 discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Adams's claims that discrimination in the selection of the grand jury violated his rights to equal protection and due process are without merit, Tollett v. Henderson, 411 U.S. 258 (1973).  His claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is similarly without merit, Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52 (1985).  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal.  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
