See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Charles Wakefield, Jr., 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

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 rea-

soning of the district court.    See Wakefield v. South Carolina

Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-97-2131-6-8AK (D.S.C. Oct. 20, 1998).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                         DISMISSED
