     *
       Judge Hamilton did not participate in consideration of this
case. The opinion is filed by a quorum of the panel pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 46(d).


                                2
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court’s orders:   (1) dis-

missing, as untimely filed, Appellant’s appeal from the bankruptcy

court’s orders, and (2) denying his motion for reconsideration. We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and

orders and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Appel-

lant’s motion for sanctions and affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. Buljat v. Federal Home Mortgage Corp., Nos. CA-97-

2868-CCB, BK-97-3621-5-JS (D. Md. Dec. 5, 1997). Appellees’ motion

for sanctions is also denied. We deny Appellant’s motion for 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
