See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his
28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988) motion. We have reviewed the record and the
district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal as
frivolous on the reasoning of the district court. United States v.
Thomas, Nos. CR-90-475-HAR; CA-96-136-HAR (D. Md. June 19, 1996).
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
