Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at Winston-Salem. James A. Beaty, Jr., District Judge. (CA-95-235)

John Newman Montgomery, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Clarence Joe DelForge, III, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NORTH CAROLINA, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellees.

M.D.N.C.

DISMISSED.

Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. 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 the motion for a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Montgomery v. North Carolina Attorney Gen., No. CA-95-235 (M.D.N.C. Sept. 18, 1995). Leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted. 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. We deny the motion for appointment of counsel.

DISMISSED.
