Judge Ervin participated in this case but died prior to the
time the decision was filed. The decision is filed by a quorum of
the panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 46(d).
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.
1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-
ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certifi-
cate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. See Patterson v. Warden, Maryland House of
Corr., No. CA-98-3493-DKC (D. Md. Oct. 30, 1998). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
