We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Caprood's motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Caprood v. Bessinger, No. CA-97-295-22BD (D.S.C. Oct. 16, 1997). 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.
