GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Marvin Beeachie Garner seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241

(West 1994 & Supp. 2001), construed by the district court as being

filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001).    We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Garner v. Maryland, No. CA-01-517-CCB (D. Md. July 6,

2001).   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
