Merrill E. FIELDS, Petitioner-Appellant,
v.
William SMITH, Warden; Attorney General of the State of
Maryland, Respondents-Appellees.
No. 95-8529.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted April 15, 1996.
Decided May 2, 1996.
Merrill E. Fields, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Richard Bruce Rosenblatt, Assistant Attorney General, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.
Before ERVIN 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. § 2254 (1988) petition. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Fields v. Smith, No. CA-95-2864-H (D.Md. Nov. 28, 1995). We deny Appellant's motion to appoint counsel and 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
