94-206-S)

Anthony D. Hawks, Appellant Pro Se. Jamie M. Bennett, Assistant
United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Anthony D. Hawks appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his motion filed under 18 U.S.C.A. § 3582 (West 1994 &

Supp. 2000).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we deny Hawks’

motion to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court.      See United States

v. Hawks, No. CR-94-206-S (D. Md. Apr. 14, 2000).    We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.




                                                            DISMISSED
