Submitted:   May 14, 1998                   Decided:   May 26, 1998

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying,

in part, and granting, in part, his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A.

§ 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the ap-
peal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. King,
Nos. CR-82-401-H; CA-97-914-H (D. Md. July 29, 1997). 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
