Circuit Judge.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Reedie J. Ward, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Reedie Ward appeals to this Court the denial of his petition
for certiorari by the Supreme Court of the United States. Because
such denials are not appealable to this Court, we dismiss this ap-
peal for lack of jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument be-
cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in
the materials before the court, and oral argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
