OPINION
PER CURIAM:
James E. Gaffney seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas
corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 (1988). Our review of the record and
the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
judge discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. Gaffney v. Witkowski, No. CA-90-2645-3 (D.S.C. July 1,
1991). 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.
