Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

relief on his petition filed under

(1994) (current

version at

(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 probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the

district court. Woods v. Nuth, No. CA-95-3089-CCB (D. Md. July 11, 1997). See Lindh v. Murphy,

,

(U.S. June

23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
