PER CURIAM:
Kenneth W. Bates seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his habeas corpus petition. 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 reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Bates, No. CA-00-2689-AW (D. Md. Sept. 21, 2000). We dispense with
oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-
ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
