PER CURIAM:

     Julius S. Baker, Sr., appeals the district court’s order deny-

ing relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition. We have re-

viewed 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 appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Baker v.

Beaver County Sheriff Dept., No. CA-98-741-3-17BC (D.S.C. Jul. 8,

1998). 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.




                                                           DISMISSED
