Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 47 F.3d 1165 (4th Cir. 1995) Submitted Jan. 19, 1995. Decided Feb. 14, 1995

Alton B. Smith, Appellant Pro Se. Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Attorney General, Columbia, SC, for Appellees.

Before WILKINS and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and SPROUSE, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.*  Smith v. Martin, No. CA-93-3165-3-19AK (D.S.C. July 8, 1994). 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.

AFFIRMED

 *

We also grant Petitioner's motion to amend his informal brief and have considered arguments raised therein
