PER CURIAM:

     Timothy Dale Crockett seeks to appeal 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 magis-

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

certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court.   See Crockett v. Moore, No. CA-97-

293-4-17AK (D.S.C. Mar. 16, 1999).   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
