Submitted: April 18, 2002 Decided: April 30, 2002

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Samuel A. Wilder, Appellant Pro Se. Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Attorney General, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Samuel A. Wilder seeks to appeal the district court’s order

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

1994 & Supp. 2001). 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 Wilder v. Catoe, No. CA-00-

3257 (D.S.C. Feb. 8, 2002). We further deny Wilder’s motion for a

preliminary injunction. 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
