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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

     Korane Q. Moore seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order

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

1994 & Supp. 2000).*   We have reviewed the record and the magis-

trate judge’s opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly,

we deny Moore’s motion for a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the magistrate judge. Moore

v. Beck, No. CA-00-575-1 (M.D.N.C. Nov. 3, 2000).     We also deny

Moore’s motions for discovery and appointment of counsel.   We dis-

pense 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




     *
      The parties consented to the magistrate judge’s jurisdiction
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
