We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal- ability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Watkins v. Sacchet, No. CA-00-2545-CCB (D. Md. filed Jan. 30, 2001, entered Jan. 31, 2001; filed and entered Feb. 12, 2001). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten- tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
