Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Kevin L. Stoddard, Appellant Pro Se. William Warren Hamel, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Kevin L. Stoddard appeals the district court’s order denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reason- ing of the district court. See United States v. Stoddard, Nos. CR- 93-437-DKC; CA-96-429-HNM (D. Md. Oct. 24, 1997); see also Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. 320 (1997). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma- terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
