Clarence Joe DelForge, III, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Fred Wright, Jr. and Gregory Donnell Mebane appeal the dis- trict court’s orders denying relief on their petitions filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinions accepting the recommenda- tion 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 Wright v. North Carolina Attorney Gen., Nos. CA-97-536-2; CA-97-538-2 (M.D.N.C. Apr. 1, 1998). 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
