No. 94-6303.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted Jan. 31, 1995.
Decided June 30, 1995.

Thomas P. Lancour, appellant pro se. Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Attorney General, Columbia, SC; Larry Cleveland Batson, South Carolina Department of Corrections, Columbia, SC, for appellees.

Before MURNAGHAN and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 (1988) petition. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Lancour v. Evatt, No. CA-93-802-3-17AK (D.S.C. Feb. 8, 1994). 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
