See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Jeffrey Leamor Medley seeks to appeal the district court’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

district court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-

trate judge and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a

certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-

ing of the district court.    See Medley v. Lee, No. CA-99-918-1

(M.D.N.C. July 19, 2000).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
