    John MCDONOUGH, Petitioner-Appellant, v. State of SOUTH CAROLINA; Charles M. Condon, Attorney General of the State of South Carolina, Respondents-Appellees.
    No. 01-7225.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted Nov. 29, 2001.
    Decided Dec. 6, 2001.
    John McDonough, pro se. Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Attorney General, Tracey Colton Green, Office of the Attorney General of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, for appellees.
    Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

John McDonough appeals 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 magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. McDonough v. South Carolina, No. CA-01-413-2-19AJ (D.S.C. filed July 5, 2001; entered July 6, 2001). 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.
