PER CURIAM: Wayne Anthony Brooks seeks to appeal the district court’s orders 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. According- ly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Brooks v. Corcoran, No. CA-98-3074-PJM (D. Md. Feb. 3 & Mar. 4, 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

* Brooks’ notice of appeal is timely only as to the February and March 4 orders.
