Charlie Lee Robinson, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

Charlie Lee Robinson 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

magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we

deny Robinson’s motion for a certificate of appealability and dis-

miss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Robin-

son v. North Carolina Attorney Gen., No. CA-99-312-1 (M.D.N.C. Mar.

24, 2000); see also Williams v. Taylor, 120 S. Ct. 1495, 1523

(2000) (interpreting 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254(d)). We deny Robinson’s

motion for appointment of counsel and 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
