Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Rock Hill.  C. Weston Houck, Chief District Judge.  (CA-94-109-3-2-BD)

Isaac Eugene Slappy, Appellant Pro Se.  Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Attorney General, Columbia, South Carolina;  Barbara Murcier Bowens, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his habeas corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), as amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1217.   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 probable cause to appeal;  to the extent that a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certificate.  We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   Slappy v. South Carolina, No. CA-94-109-3-2-BD (D.S.C. Sept. 29, 1995).  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.
