Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994) petition. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Peterson v. North Carolina Dep't Corr., No. CA-94-741-5-HC-
BO (E.D.N.C. Dec. 14, 1995). We dispense with oral argument and

deny Appellant's motion for the appointment of counsel because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

                                                         AFFIRMED
