PER CURIAM:

     Dyzondria Brown appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &

Supp. 2001).   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 affirm on the reasoning

of the district court.       Brown v. Catoe, No. CA-00-2810-9-10RB

(D.S.C. Sept. 26, 2001).     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
