Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 (1988) petition. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant a certificate of probable cause to appeal, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Matthews v. Martin, No. CA-93-3102-3-17-AJ (D.S.C. Feb. 10, 1995).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
