OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Columbia, South
Carolina, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Mansa Musa Banshee appeals the district court’s order denying

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

Supp. 2001).   The district court granted Banshee’s motion for a

certificate of appealability.     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. See Banshee v. Gunn,

No. CA-01-2349-6-10 (D.S.C. Feb. 21, 2002).       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
