PER CURIAM:
Timothy L. Massie 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
Massie’s motion for a certificate of probable cause, deny a cer-
tificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
of the district court. Massie v. Sacchet, No. CA-01-136-CCB (D.
Md. June 19, 2001). 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
