PER CURIAM:

               Benoit    Tshiwala    appeals      the    district    court’s   order

denying relief on the Fourth Amendment claims he raised in his

28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) petition. ∗                We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error.                   Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court.                    Tshiwala v. Hershberger,

No. 8:09-cv-02232-AW (D. Md. Sept. 15, 2010).                      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.

                                                                           AFFIRMED

       ∗
       We previously granted a certificate of appealability as to
Tshiwala’s Fourth Amendment claims and denied a certificate of
appealability and dismissed the appeal as to all remaining
claims.
