UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-7417

TROY LYNN BROOKS-BEY,

Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

ROBERT KUPEC, Warden; ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THE STATE OF MARYLAND,

Respondents - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Catherine C. Blake, District Judge. (CA- 00-2812-CCB)

Submitted: November 20, 2000 Decided: December 6, 2000

Before WIDENER, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Troy Lynn Brooks-Bey, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Troy Lynn Brooks-Bey appeals the district court’s order dis-

missing his petition filed under

(West 1994 &

Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court. See Brooks-Bey v. Kupec, No. CA-00-2812-CCB

(D. Md. Sept. 26, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.

DISMISSED
