PER CURIAM:

     Lonnie Bert Rochelle seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254

(West 1994 & Supp. 2001).     We have reviewed the record and the

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

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

certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-

ing of the district court. Rochelle v. Chester, No. CA-01-199-5-BR

(E.D.N.C. Sept. 10, 2001).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                         DISMISSED
