See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Franklin Tesack appeals 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 modifying and 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.   See Tesack v. Trent, No. CA-97-1132-2

(S.D.W. Va. Aug. 11, 1998). 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
