Jon Terence Yahchanan Conrad, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Eugene Bogan, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Jon Terence Yahchanan Conrad seeks to appeal the district

court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under

(West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion accepting the recommen-

dation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Conrad v.

Moore, No. CA-98-2753-AJ (D.S.C. May 24, 1999). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
