Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     George Cecil Duckett seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254

(West 1994 & Supp. 2000).   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

substantially on the reasoning of the district court.    See Duckett

v. Kupec, No. CA-00-2626-L (D. Md. Oct. 24, 2000).      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
