Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Benoit Tshiwala appeals the district court’s order denying relief on the Fourth Amendment claims he raised in his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) petition. ∗ We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Tshiwala v. Hershberger, No. 8:09-cv-02232-AW (D. Md. Sept. 15, 2010). 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.

AFFIRMED

∗ We previously granted a certificate of appealability as to Tshiwala’s Fourth Amendment claims and denied a certificate of appealability and dismissed the appeal as to all remaining claims.
