Michael Dorfield Washington, Appellant Pro Se.  John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Ann Norman Bosse, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.
Before ERVIN and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988) petition.   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 affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   Washington v. Smith, No. CA-93-1284-HAR (D.Md. July 15, 1994).   We deny Appellant's motions for appointment of counsel and 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.

2
AFFIRMED.
