PER CURIAM:
Lonnie Bert Rochelle 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 accepting the recommendation of the magis-
trate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-
ing of the district court. Rochelle v. Chester, No. CA-01-199-5-BR
(E.D.N.C. Sept. 10, 2001). 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
