DISMISSED.

Before WIDENER, PHILLIPS and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Richard Poston seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny Poston's motion for appointment of counsel, deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Poston v. State of South Carolina, C/A No. 88-1523-3 (D.S.C. Feb. 16, 1989). 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
