PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying relief on
his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp.
1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reason-
ing of the district court. Woodland-El v. Corcoran, No. CA-96-3923-
L (D. Md. May 20, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-
rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
