PER CURIAM:

     Lynn Jeffrey Chronister seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. §

2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999), and denying his motion for recon-

sideration.   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 Chronister’s motion

for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the

reasoning of the district court.       See Chronister v. Moore, No. CA-

98-3372-4-17BF (D.S.C. Sept. 23 & Oct. 15, 1999). We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                             DISMISSED
