Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Cynthia Lee Levering appeals the district court’s order de- nying relief on her 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 reasoning of the district court. See Levering v. Phelps-Schupple, No. CA-99-158-CCB (D. Md. Nov. 19, 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
