PER CURIAM:

               Neil Jason Williams appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief    on    his       28    U.S.C.      § 2254      (2006)   petition.         We    have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                           Accordingly,

we   affirm         for   the        reasons    stated     by    the    district     court.

Williams       v.    McBride,         No.   2:06-cv-00124-REM-JSK         (N.D.     W.    Va.

July 22,    2008).             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
