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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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
