PER CURIAM:

       In these consolidated appeals, Appellant Kendell C. Alexander

appeals the district court’s orders denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241 (1994) petition and reconsideration of that order.        We have

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

find no reversible error.      Accordingly, we affirm both orders on

the reasoning of the district court.         See Alexander v. United

States, No. CA-99-298-PJM (D. Md. July 27 & Sept. 30, 1999).         We

deny    Alexander’s   motion   to   remand   filed   in   No.   99-7127.

Furthermore, we deny Alexander’s motions captioned “Motion of

Expedite of Appeals” and “Motion to Strike Appellee’s Response to

Appellant’s Pro Se Informal Brief.” 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.
