PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from 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 recom-
mendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.
Hughes v. Smith, No. CA-92-2738-N (D. Md. Aug. 23, 1995). We dis-
pense 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
