DISMISSED.
Before HALL and WILKINS, C.J., and SPROUSE, Sr. C.J.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal 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 deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.* Cyrus v. State of South Carolina, No. CA-92-23-3-1AJ (D.S.C. Mar. 6, 1993). 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
Although the district court dismissed Cyrus' fifth claim on the merits, we conclude that it is procedurally barred. See Reed v. Ross, 468 U.S. 1, 10-11 (1984)
