UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff - Appellee,

Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland, at Baltimore. Peter J. Messitte, District Judge. (CR-
94-41-JFM)
Submitted: January 11, 2001 Decided: January 19, 2001
Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Gerald David Davage, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Gerald David Davage appeals the district court’s order denying
his motions to recuse and to reopen a prior action. We have re-
viewed the record and the district court’s order and find no abuse
of discretion in the district court’s denial of the motion to re-
cuse. United States v. Gordon, 61 F.3d 263, 267-68 (4th Cir. 1995)
(providing standard). Nor do we find any error in the district
court’s denial of Davage’s motion to reopen. Accordingly, we deny
Davage’s motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss the
appeal. 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
