PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition and Fed. R. Civ. P.

60(b) motion for relief from the judgment. We have reviewed the

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

error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to ap-
peal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.

Lyba v. Taylor, No. CA-93-1770-MJG (D. Md. Apr. 25, 1994). We deny
Appellant's motions for the preparation of a transcript at govern-

ment expense and for the appointment of counsel. We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
