PER CURIAM:
Joseph R. Johnson appeals the district court’s order denying
relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 &
Supp. 2001). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s
opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny
Johnson’s motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See Johnson v.
Filbert, No. CA-00-2035-AMD (D. Md. Dec. 18, 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
