DISMISSED.
Before WIDENER, ERVIN, and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant seeks to appeal 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 and find no reversible error.   We also find that even if a part of Appellant's insufficient evidence claim is not procedurally defaulted it is without merit.   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   Birchead v. Breshears, No. CA-95-1063-L (D.Md. Jan. 19, 1996).   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.
