PER CURIAM:

     Bruce Jenkins seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-

ing relief on her 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 certif-

icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the district court. See Jenkins v. South Carolina, No. CA-97-1666-

4-22BE (D.S.C. Sept. 4, 1997).   We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
