See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his habeas corpus petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), as
amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996,
Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1217. 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
deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal; to the extent that
a certificate of appealability is required, we deny such a certifi-
cate. We dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
Hurley v. Waters, No. CA-95-778-CCB (D. Md. Feb. 13, 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
