    Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

   PER CURIAM.

Felix J. Praylow 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 have independently reviewed the record and conclude on the reasoning of the district court that Praylow has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right. See Praylow v. Condon, No. CA-02-3308-4-25 (D.S.C. Oct. 29, 2004). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c) (2000). 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
