Before WIDENER, WILKINSON, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ronald Pierce, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Ronald Pierce, a federal prisoner, appeals the district

court’s order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge

and denying relief on his

(2000) petition. We

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district

court. Pierce v. Pettiford, No. 3:06-cv-01851-GRA (D.S.C. July 21,

2006). 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.

AFFIRMED
