Floyd Glenn Williams, Appellant Pro Se. Ann Norman Bosse, OFFICE
OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1994) (current
version at 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998)). 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 Appellant's motion for a certificate of
appealability, deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Williams
v. Lanham, No. CA-95-989-DKC (D. Md. Jan. 30, 1997). See Lindh v.
Murphy, 117 S. Ct. 2059 (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.
DISMISSED
