PER CURIAM:

     Damon Demetrius Cobb seeks to appeal the district court’s

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

§ 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001).       We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s opinion and orders and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.     Cobb v.

Corcoran, No. CA-98-4809-L (D. Md. Dec. 23, 1998; Apr. 14, 1999).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                             DISMISSED
