Kelvin J. Miles, Appellant Pro Se.

PER CURIAM:
Kelvin J. Miles appeals 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
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. Miles v. Waters, No. CA-02-428-S
(D. Md. Feb. 13, 2002). We deny the motion for leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and 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.
Miles’ motion for appointment of counsel is denied.
DISMISSED
