OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland,
for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Henry Robinson, III, seeks to appeal the district court's

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

(West 1994 & Supp. 1998). 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. Robinson v. Waters, No. CA-97-
1221-WMN (D. Md. Oct. 10, 1997). 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 deci-
sional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
