Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
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) and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed
the record and the district court's orders and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district
court. Whittlesey v. Circuit Court of Maryland, No. CA-97-874-JFM
(D. Md. Mar. 31 & May 6, 1997). 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 deci-
sional process.
AFFIRMED
