Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Jimmy D. Covington, Appellant Pro Se. Sandra Wallace-Smith,
Assistant Attorney General, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Jimmy D. Covington seeks to appeal the district court’s orders
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 2002). 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
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeals on the
reasoning of the district court. Covington v. Beck, No. CA-01-968-
1 (M.D.N.C. filed May 20, 2002 & entered May 21, 2002; June 3,
2002). 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
