Respondent - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of

(CA-98-3386-JFM)
Submitted: February 9, 1999 Decided: March 30, 1999
Before NIEMEYER and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges, and HALL, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Savino Braxton, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Savino Braxton 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), and orders denying his motions for recon-
sideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinions and find no reversible error or abuse of discretion.
Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Braxton v.
Maryland, No. CA-98-3386-JFM (D. Md. Oct. 22, Nov. 18, & Dec. 7,
1998).* 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

See Wilson v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).
