Bernard Drayton, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (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 deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Drayton v. United States Dep't of Justice, No. CA-95-379-2-8AJ (D.S.C. Apr.

6, 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
