Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: George R. Wertz, Jr., appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999) and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court's orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal- ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Wertz v. Moore, No. CA-98-1577-22BE (D.S.C. Sept. 13 & Oct. 4, 1999). 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
