PER CURIAM:
Emanuel Edward Butler, Jr., seeks to appeal the district
court's order denying relief on his petition filed under 28
U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the
record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See
Butler v. Corcoran, No. CA-98-2992-MJG (D. Md. Jan. 28, 1999). We
deny Butler’s motion for the preparation of a transcript at Gov-
ernment expense. 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
