PER CURIAM:

     James Guy Arnold appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition in these consoli-

dated cases.    We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error.    Accordingly, we deny a cer-

tificate of appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the

district court.    See Arnold v. Mades, Nos. CA-01-2347-AMD & CA-01-

3087-AMD (D. Md. Nov. 2 & 6, 2001 and filed Nov. 27; entered Nov.

29, 2001).    We deny Arnold’s motion for emergency action in No. 01-

7964 and 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
