Submitted:  Nov. 18, 1988.Decided:  Feb. 1, 1989.

Sylvester Joseph Johnson, Sr., appellant pro se.
John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Beverly Peyton Griffith (Office of the Attorney General), for appellee.
Before WIDENER, WILKINSON and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Sylvester Joseph Johnson, Sr. seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254.  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.  Johnson v. Maryland, C/A No. 88-236-HAR (D.Md. July 25, 1988).  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.


2
DISMISSED.
