US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 89 F.3d 828 (4th Cir. 1996) Submitted April 9, 1996. Decided June 19, 1996

John A. Haynes, Appellant Pro Se. Donald John Zelenka, Chief Deputy Attorney General, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees.

Before HALL, MURNAGHAN, and LUTTIG, 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 a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Haynes v. South Carolina, No. CA-94-2390-3-6BC (D.S.C. Nov. 17, 1995). We deny Appellant's motion for an investigation, along with his "Informal Motion" that a subsequently filed appeal be required to be considered by a separate panel. 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.
