Francis Russell Holley, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing plead-

ing evincing his intent to seek relief under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254

(West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict 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. Holley v. Maryland, No. CA-97-
1501-S (D. Md. May 9, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.

                                                         DISMISSED
