Before WILKINS and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and CHAPMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Thomas Bernard Timpson, Jr., seeks to appeal from the district court's order dismissing without prejudice his petition filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (1988), for nonexhaustion of state remedies. Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause to appeal and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Timpson v. Smith, No. CA-92-1889-L (D. Md. Sept. 15, 1992). 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
