DISMISSED.
Before HAMILTON, WILLIAMS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 (1988) petition.  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.  Keeler v. Mauney, No. CA-92-2203-3-20 (D.S.C. May 27, 1994).*  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.

 Because of Keeler's procedural default, consideration of his ex post facto claim is precluded
