PER CURIAM:
Edgar Edward Bantam 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 district
court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-
soning of the district court. See Bantam v. Sacchett, No. CA-99-
2392-WMN (D. Md. Mar. 17, 2000); Williams v. Taylor, 120 S. Ct.
1495 (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
