98-95-S, CA-99-3776-S)

Curtis Allen Spencer, Appellant Pro Se.   Richard Charles Kay,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Curtis Allen Spencer appeals from the district court’s order

denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000)

and his subsequent motion for reconsideration.   The Government has

filed a motion to dismiss.   Based on Fed. R. App. 22(b), we deny

the Government’s motion to dismiss.   We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court.   See United States

v. Spencer, Nos. CR-98-95-S; CA-99-3776-S (D. Md. Dec. 23, 1999).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                         DISMISSED
