Assistant United States Attorney, Wheeling, West Virginia, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            James Allen Morris 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 affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.               Morris v. Warden

Joyce Francis, No. 2:06-cv-00024-REM-JSK (N.D. W. Va. May 27,

2008).     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
