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
