Clifton FOOTES, Jr., Petitioner-Appellant,
v.
William L. SMITH, Warden; Attorney General of The State of
Maryland, Respondents-Appellees.
No. 95-6147.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: March 15, 1995.
Decided: April 12, 1995.
Clifton Footes, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Mary Ellen Barbera, Assistant Attorney General, Baltimore, MD, for Appellees.
Before RUSSELL and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 (1988) petition. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Footes v. Smith, No. CA-93-3925-JFM (D. Md. Jan. 3, 1995). 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.
AFFIRMED.
