Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealabil- ity, deny in forma pauperis status, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. LeGrande v. North Carolina Attor- ney General, No. CA-96-940 (M.D.N.C. Nov. 17, 1997). We also deny Appellant's motion for judicial notice, his motion for stay of execution, and his motion for dismissal of all charges. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade- quately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
