Accordingly, we deny a certifi- cate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Morris v. South Carolina, No. CA-95-3289-2-6AJ (D.S.C. Apr. 25, 1996). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
