PER CURIAM:
Doug Anthony Hicks seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp.
1999). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opin-
ion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certif-
icate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. See United States v. Hicks, Nos. CR-96-102; CA-
99-844-S (D. Md. Mar. 29, 1999). As for the issues Hicks asserts
the district court failed to address, we have reviewed the claims
and find them to be meritless. 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
