No. 95-7420.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted Jan.y 11, 1996.
Decided Jan. 24, 1996.

Eric Smith, Appellant Pro Se.

Before RUSSELL, HALL, and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 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. Smith v. Nuth, No. CA-95-1885-JFM (D.Md. Aug. 3, 1995). We deny Appellant's motion for appointment of 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.

AFFIRMED.
