PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed the record
and the district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of
the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Schmidt v. Smith,
No. CA-94-536-N (D. Md. Feb. 15, 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
