Wayne Gross, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Wayne Gross seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &

Supp. 2001).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court.   Gross v. Kupec, No. CA-01-1325-JFM (D. Md.

filed May 10, 2001; entered May 11, 2001).   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
