Alton B. SMITH, Petitioner--Appellant,
v.
George N. MARTIN, III, Warden; Attorney General of the
State of South Carolina, Respondents--Appellees.
No. 94-6858.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


Submitted Jan. 19, 1995.
Decided Feb. 14, 1995.

Alton B. Smith, Appellant Pro Se. Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy
Attorney General, Columbia, SC, for Appellees.
Before WILKINS and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior
Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.
Sec. 2254 (1988) petition. 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 affirm on the reasoning of the
district court.* Smith v. Martin, No. CA-93-3165-3-19AK (D.S.C. July 8,
1994). 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

We also grant Petitioner's motion to amend his informal brief and have
considered arguments raised therein
