95-3367-S)


Submitted:   May 16, 1996                   Decided:   June 7, 1996

Ronald Murphy, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed

the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court. Murphy v. Maryland Parole Comm'n, No. CA-95-3367-S (D. Md.
Nov. 14 & 27, 1995). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.




                                                         AFFIRMED
