    Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
    his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.
    1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion
    and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
    appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Johnson v. Moats, No. CA-97-1683-AW (D. Md. July 3,
    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.

    DISMISSED
