PER CURIAM:
Jaime Traverso, Sr., seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of appealability and affirm the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. Traverso v. Sondervan, No. CA-99-
2480-MJG (D. Md. Jan. 13, 2000); see Artuz v. Bennett, 121 S. Ct.
361, 364 (2000). 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
