PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition, and his Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) motion. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Simpson v. Cepak, No. CA-94-1776-3-22BC (D.S.C. Aug. 14, 1995; Sept. 13, 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.

DISMISSED
