DISMISSED.
Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and CHAPMAN and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Robert Clifton Johnson, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254.*   Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.  Johnson v. Siebert, C/A No. 89-2759-N (D.Md. Oct. 12, 1989).  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

*
 The petition for relief was mislabeled as a 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 action;  however, as Johnson was challenging the facts of his confinement, rather than the conditions, the petition is more properly construed as a 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 action
