Nathaniel H. Jones seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). We dismiss the appeal as duplicative because this court dis *626 posed of prior appeals from this same order. See Jones v. South Carolina, 141 F. App’x 161 (4th Cir. 2005) (unpublished). We deny Jones’s motion for a certificate of appealability as unnecessary. 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
