PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Scott Lewis Rendelman appeals from the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C.s 2254 (1988).  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Rendelman v. Ortiz, No. CA-92-2779-JFM (D. Md. Nov. 23, 1992).*  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


*
 Because the record contains Rendelman's response to the motion to dismiss, we deny his motion to stay proceedings in this Court
