PER CURIAM:

     In these consolidated appeals, Appellants appeal from district

court orders denying their motions filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255

(1994) (current version at 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp.

1997)) and, in No. 96-6621, two motions for reconsideration of that

order. We have reviewed the record, the district court's opinions
and orders, and the report and recommendation of the magistrate

judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm all of

the orders on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Brown, Nos. CR-90-128-MJG, CA-94-27-MJG; United States v. Dixon,

Nos. CR-90-128-MJG,   CA-94-26-MJG (D. Md. Nov. 15, 1995; Mar. 11

and Apr. 1, 1996). See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. ___, 1997 WL
338568 (U.S. June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). 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.




                                                          AFFIRMED
