(CA-95-3110-JFM)


Submitted:   July 23, 1996                  Decided:   July 30, 1996


Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Scott Lewis Rendelman, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals 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 affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Rendelman v. Keohane, No. CA-95-3110-JFM (D. Md. Nov. 8, 1995). 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
