Kelvin J. Miles, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Kelvin J. Miles 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 Miles v. Maryland, No. CA-99-
2949-S (D. Md. Oct. 4, 1999). We dispense with oral argument be-
cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
