(CA-99-1868-3-24BC)


Submitted:     February 8, 2001          Decided:    February 15, 2001


Before WILKINS, MOTZ, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Tony Shuler, Appellant Pro Se. William Edgar Salter, III, OFFICE
OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Columbia, South Caro-
lina, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Tony Shuler seeks to appeal the district court’s orders deny-

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

1994 & Supp. 2000), and denying his motion to reconsider.    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 certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   Shuler

v. Miro, No. CA-99-1868-3-24BC (D.S.C. filed Sept. 7, 2000; entered

Sept. 8, 2000, & filed Oct. 30, 2000; entered Oct. 31, 2000).    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.




                                                         DISMISSED
