    James Wesley Williams seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing
    habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254. Our review of the record
    and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.
    Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the
    appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Williams v. State of Maryland,
    C/A No. 88-380-H (D.Md. July 26, 1988). 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.
