    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 98-6137

    WENDELL L. WATKINS, SR.,


    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    THOMAS R. CORCORAN, Warden; ATTORNEY GENERAL
    OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND,
    Respondents - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    Maryland, at Baltimore.
    Alexander Harvey II, Senior District
    Judge. (CA-97-2279-H)
    Submitted:

    March 26, 1998

    Decided:

    April 9, 1998

    Before WIDENER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior


    Circuit Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Wendell L. Watkins, Sr., Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran,
    Jr., Attorney General, Annabelle Louise Lisic, OFFICE OF THE
    ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Appellant seeks to appeal two district court orders, the first
    denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West
    1994 & Supp. 1997), and the second denying his motion for "newly
    discovered evidence" and for an evidentiary hearing. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find no
    reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
    Watkins v. Corcoran, No. CA-97-2279-H (D. Md. Jan. 8 & 20, 1998).
    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.

    DISMISSED
