Gene M. Duncan, Appellant Pro Se. Tracey Colton Green, OFFICE OF
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Columbia, South Carolina,
for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Gene M. Duncan appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   See Duncan v. Miro,

No. CA-01-2410-2-23 (D.S.C. Mar. 29, 2002).   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
