Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Wayne Anthony Brooks seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999).   We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.    According-

ly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal

on the reasoning of the district court.     See Brooks v. Corcoran,

No. CA-98-3074-PJM (D. Md. Feb. 3 & Mar. 4, 1999).*      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




     *
       Brooks’ notice of appeal is timely only as to the February
3 and March 4 orders.
