PER CURIAM:
Marcus W. Tunstall seeks to appeal the district court's order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West
1994 & Supp. 1999). 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 Tunstall v. Kavanagh No. CA-
97-4044-DKC(D. Md. May 28, 1998). We deny Tunstall's motions for
release on recognizance or surety, to place case in abeyance for
further litigation in the district court, and for a transcript at
Government expense. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
