Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, District Judge. (CA- 99-861-PJM)

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Edward Graham, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Ann Norman Bosse, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Edward Graham appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his petition filed under

(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

reasoning of the district court. See Graham v. Logan, No. CA-99-

861-PJM (D. Md. July 14, 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
