PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), as amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act 101996, Pub.L. No. 104-32, 110 Stat. 1217, petition. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal; to the extent that such a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certificate. We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Green v. Beshears, No. CA-95-3172-S (D.Md. Feb. 14, 1996). 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
