Charles Linwood Pannell, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Ann Norman Bosse, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Charles Linwood Pannell 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 dis-

trict 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 Pannell v. Corcoran, No.

CA-98-1521-MJG (D. Md. Sept. 30, 1998). 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
