PER CURIAM:
Marvin Beeachie Garner seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2241
(West 1994 & Supp. 2001), construed by the district court as being
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 certificate of appeal-
ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district
court. See Garner v. Maryland, No. CA-01-517-CCB (D. Md. July 6,
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
