PER CURIAM:
Reese Marvin Baker seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000).
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. Baker v. Sacchet, No. CA-01-518-WMN (D. Md. Apr.
17, 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
