OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Columbia, South
Carolina, for Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Nathaniel H. Jones seeks to appeal the district court’s
order accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000).
We dismiss the appeal as duplicative because this court disposed of
prior appeals from this same order. See Jones v. South Carolina,
141 F. App’x 161 (4th Cir. 2005) (unpublished). We deny Jones’s
motion for a certificate of appealability as unnecessary. 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
