PER CURIAM:
Shane Ransom seeks to appeal the district court’s order deny-
ing relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1998). 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. See Ransom v. Corcoran, No. CA-
98-3217-S (D. Md. Jan. 6, 1999). 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
