PER CURIAM:


1
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his petition filed pursuant 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), as amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214.   We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   Witherspoon v. Beshears, No. CA-95-1103-JFM (D.Md. Aug. 30, 1995).  We further deny Appellant's request for appointed counsel.  We grant Appellant's request for leave to supplement the record on appeal.  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.

AFFIRMED
