PER CURIAM:

               Julius D. Weathers appeals the district court’s order

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

relief    on    his    28    U.S.C.     § 2254    (2006)      petition.          We   have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                          Accordingly,

we   affirm      for   the        reasons   stated      by    the    district      court.

Weathers v. Stevenson, No. 2:09-cv-01999-TLW (D.S.C. Mar. 12,

2010).     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.

                                                                                 AFFIRMED
