Edgar Edward Bantam, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr.,
Attorney General, Rachel Marblestone Kamins, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Edgar Edward Bantam seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West

1994 & Supp. 2000).   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 rea-

soning of the district court.   See Bantam v. Sacchett, No. CA-99-

2392-WMN (D. Md. Mar. 17, 2000); Williams v. Taylor, 120 S. Ct.

1495 (2000).   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
