PER CURIAM

Andrew Lewis Adams seeks to appeal the district court§ 2254 (West 4 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court§ 2254(d). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. 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
