95-2606-CCB)


Submitted:   April 15, 1996                 Decided:   April 25, 1996


Before ERVIN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


James Harris, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order dismiss-

ing without prejudice his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition for

failure to exhaust state court remedies. We have reviewed the rec-

ord and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Harris
v. Tegetoff, No. CA-95-2606-CCB (D. Md. Sept. 18, 1995). We dis-

pense 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
