United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


Submitted Nov. 7, 1995.
Decided Dec. 27, 1995.

Jerome Scott, Appellant Pro Se. Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy
Attorney General, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.
Before HALL and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior
Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28
U.S.C. Sec. 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to
appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Scott v.
Evatt, No. CA-94-745-3BC (D.S.C. Mar. 27, 1995). 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.
