PER CURIAM:

     Appellants seek to appeal the district court's order denying

relief on their petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994

& Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's

opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of ap-
pealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court. Martinez v. State of South Carolina Justice Comm., No. CA-
96-3739-6 (D.S.C. Sept. 9, 1997). 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 deci-
sional process.

                                                         DISMISSED
