for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his mis-

cellaneous motions. We have reviewed the record and the district

court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss on the reasoning of

the district court. Sanders v. Maryland, No. CA-97-1654-PJM (D. Md.
Feb. 13, 1998). 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
