PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order denying relief on

his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.

1998). 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 appealabil-

ity and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.

Rochester v. South Carolina Dep’t of Corrections, No. CA-98-146-2-

21AJ (D.S.C. Apr. 13, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process. The motions for preparation of a transcript at government

expense and for correction of facts in PLRA are denied.




                                                          DISMISSED
