James Joseph OWENS, Petitioner Appellant,
v.
STATE of Maryland, Respondent Appellee.

No. 94-6032.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted March 17, 1994.
Decided April 5, 1994.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. J. Frederick Motz, District Judge. (CA-93-3973-JFM).

James Joseph Owens, Appellant Pro Se.

D.Md.

AFFIRMED.

Before PHILLIPS and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's denial of his petition for a writ of mandamus. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Owens v. Maryland, No. CA-93-3973-JFM (D.Md. Dec. 15, 1993). 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
