Jr., Attorney General, Ann Norman Bosse, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Abras Sandy Q. Morrison seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254

(West 1994 & Supp. 2001).      We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error.          Accordingly,

we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on

the reasoning of the district court.         See Morrison v. Conroy, No.

CA-00-1428-PJM (D. Md. May 25, 2001).        We dispense with oral argu-

ment   because   the   facts   and   legal   contentions   are   adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.




                                                                  DISMISSED
