Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying relief on her petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994), amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214, and denying her motion for reconsider- ation. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Additionally, we have determined that the dis- trict court did not abuse its discretion in denying Appellant's motion for reconsideration. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Dimond v. South Carolina, No. CA-95-3678-2-23AJ (D.S.C. July 19, 1996; Aug. 13, 1996). 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 2
