No. 94-6618.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


Submitted: Feb.16, 1995
Decided: March 3, 1995

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland,
at Baltimore. Herbert N. Maletz, Senior Judge, sitting by designation.
(CA-91-2749-N)
Lawrence Tearl, Appellant Pro Se. Tarra R. Minnis, OFFICE OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, MD, for
Appellees.
Before HAMILTON and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior
Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying relief on his 28
U.S.C. Sec. 2254 (1988) petition. Our review of the record and the district
court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we
deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the
reasoning of the district court. Tearl v. Smith, No. CA-91-2749-N (D. Md. May
24, 1994). 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
