Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Renford Martin seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). 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. See Martin v. Corcoran, No. CA-99- 157-WMN (D. Md. June 10, 1999). 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
