PER CURIAM:

     Shadreck Abdul Bashshar Kitayatuthelezi seeks to appeal a dis-

trict court’s order granting Respondents’ motion for summary judg-

ment and dismissing Kitayatuthelezi’s 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 certificate of appealability and

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

Kitayatuthelezi v. Moore, No. CA-98-1370-4-12 (D.S.C. Mar. 18,

1999).   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
