Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order declining to

grant relief from its order denying relief on his petition filed

under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). See Fed. R. Civ.

P. 60(b). 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 the appeal on the reasoning

of the district court. Iko v. Corcoran, No. CA-97-2083-DKC (D. Md.

Nov. 19, 1997). Appellant’s motion for “consolidation and joinder”

is denied. 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
