Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal from the district court's orders
dismissing for failure to obtain authorization pursuant to 28
U.S.C.A. § 2244 (West Supp. 1997), his second motion filed under 28
U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997), and denying his motion
for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinion and find no abuse of discretion and no reversible
error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and
dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United
States v. Burke, Nos. CR-91-119; CA-97-498-K (D. Md. Apr. 29,
1997). 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
