OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     William Harold Horne 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

district   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.      Horne v. Conroy,

No. CA-01-2594-AW (D. Md. filed Mar. 13, 2002 & entered Mar. 14,

2002).   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 decisional process.




                                                           DISMISSED
