PER CURIAM:
Robert W. Petty seeks to appeal from the district court’s
orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
Supp. 2001), and denying his motions for discovery and for prepa-
ration of a transcript at government expense. We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s opinion and orders and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, while we grant Petty’s motion to
file an oversized application for a certificate of appealability,
we deny his motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss
the appeals on the reasoning of the district court. United States
v. Petty, Nos. CR-97-107; CA-99-3672-DKC (D. Md. filed Apr. 16,
2001 & entered May 2, 2001; June 15, 2001). 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
