PER CURIAM:
Bobby Williams seeks to appeal the district court's order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1997). 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 a cer-
tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. Williams v. Freeman, No. CA-96-827-5-F3
(E.D.N.C. Feb. 14, 1997). 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
