PER CURIAM:
Luis A. Sims 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. See Sims v. Conroy, No. CA-01-3182-WMN (D. Md.
Apr. 24, 2002). 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
