PER CURIAM:
Terry Wendell Copeland seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254
(West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the dis-
trict court’s opinion accepting the recommendation of the magis-
trate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a
certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reason-
ing of the district court. Copeland v. Corcoran, No. CA-97-1211-AMD
(D. Md. Mar. 31, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
