Charles Arthur Bennett, Appellant Pro Se. Clarence Joe DelForge,
III, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh,
North Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying

relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), as
amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996,

Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1217. 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 the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Bennett

v. Department of Corrections, No. CA-95-226-5-BO (E.D.N.C. Nov. 13,

1995). We deny Appellant's motions for default judgment and for

writ of habeas corpus, for court order, and for injunctive relief.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
