    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 98-6333

    MIKE DAVID HICKMAN,


    Petitioner - Appellant,
    versus
    LLOYD WATERS, 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-97-1189-H)
    Submitted:

    May 14, 1998

    Decided:

    June 3, 1998

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


    Circuit Judge.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Mike David Hickman, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr., Attorney General, Mary Ann Rapp Ince, 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    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 the district court's order denying
    relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. 2254 (West 1994 &
    Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court's
    opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning
    of the district court. Hickman v. Waters, No. CA-97-1189-H (D. Md.
    Feb. 17, 1998). We decline to consider Appellant's claim that his
    arrest warrant was invalid because this claim was not presented to
    the district court and cannot be raised for the first time on
    appeal. See Spencer v. Murray, 5 F.3d 758, 761-62 (4th Cir. 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.

    DISMISSED
