Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and WIDENER and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed as modified by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Robert Lee Gamble, Appellant Pro Se. Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Attorney General, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

(1988) petition. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recom-

mendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we grant a certificate of probable cause to appeal and affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Gamble v. Evatt, No. CA-94-2193-6-19AK (D.S.C. Apr. 13, 1995). We, however, modify the

district court's order to reflect that its dismissal should have

been with prejudice. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

AFFIRMED AS MODIFIED
