Darnell A. Allen, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.    Dawn Ellen Warfield,
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF WEST VIRGINIA, Charleston, West
Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           Darnell A. Allen, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000) petition.         We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.          Accordingly, we deny

Allen’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court.       See Allen v. McBride, No.

2:05-cv-00016-REM (N.D. W. Va. Mar. 15, 2006).          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.

                                                                AFFIRMED

                                  - 2 -
