PER CURIAM:

     In these consolidated appeals, Perry L. Colter appeals the

district court’s order (1) denying relief on his petition filed

under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 2001) (No. 02-6124);

and (2) denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West

Supp. 2001) (No. 02-6125).    We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.   According-

ly, we deny certificates of appealability and dismiss the appeals

in both Nos. 02-6124 and 02-6125 on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Colter v. United States, Nos. CA-01-1327-CCB; CR-95-

405-CCB; CA-99-3752 (D. Md. filed Dec. 28, 2001; entered Dec. 31,

2001).   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
