trict of North Carolina, at Raleigh. James C. Fox, District Judge.
(CA-99-34-5-HC-F)


Submitted:   May 13, 1999                   Decided:   May 18, 1999

Donald Wade Foster, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Donald Wade Foster appeals 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 and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.    See Foster v. Attorney General of North

Carolina, No. CA-99-34-5-HC-F (Feb. 1, 1999).     We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
