PER CURIAM

Timothy L. Massie seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 4 & Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Massie’s motion for a certificate of probable cause, deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Massie v. Sacchet , No. CA-01-136-CCB (D. Md. June 19, 2001). 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
