See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Donald Durrant Farrow seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254

(West 1994 & Supp. 1999).   We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a

certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-

ing of the district court.     See Farrow v. North Carolina Att’y

Gen., No. CA-99-45 (M.D.N.C. June 29, 1999). We also deny Farrow’s

motion for appointment of counsel.    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
