PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders dismiss-
ing without prejudice his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255
(West 1994 & Supp. 1997), and denying his motion for stay (No. 97-
7087), and denying his motion for evidentiary hearing (No. 97-
7086). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-
ions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny certifi-
cates of appealability and dismiss the appeals on the reasoning of
the district court. United States v. Oriakhi, Nos. CR-90-72-K; CA-
97-656-K (D. Md. May 20, June 12 & July 23, 1997). We reject Appel-
lant's contention raised on appeal regarding the competence of the
district court judge as wholly conclusory. 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
