PER CURIAM:
David M. Garcia seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1998) and his motion to reconsider. We have reviewed
the record and the district court’s opinion, accepting the magis-
trate judge’s recommendation, and the order denying reconsideration
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Garcia’s motion
for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. See Garcia v. South Carolina, No.
CA-97-1374-3-17BC (D.S.C. Aug. 7 & Sept. 8, 1998).* 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
*
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 58 and 79(a), the orders from
which Garcia appeals were entered on the district court’s docket
August 7 and September 8, 1998. See Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d
1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
