Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Troy Williams seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his petition filed under

(West

1994 & Supp. 1998). 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 rea-

soning of the district court. Williams v. Sizer, No. CA-98-1846-JFM

(D. Md. July 30, 1998). 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
