PER CURIAM:

     In these consolidated appeals, Appellant Adrian Fowler appeals

his convictions and sentence for various drug trafficking and money

laundering offenses entered pursuant to a plea agreement (No. 96-

4512) and the court’s dismissal of his petition for habeas corpus

relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998) (No.

98-6095). Finding no reversible error, we affirm Fowler’s convic-

tions and sentence in No. 96-4512 and deny a certificate of appeal-

ability and dismiss his appeal in No. 98-6095. We dispense with

oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate-

ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.


                                         No. 96-4512, AFFIRMED
                                         No. 98-6095, DISMISSED
