(CR- 96-204, CA-98-1493-DKC) Submitted: May 13, 1999 Decided: May 19, 1999 Before WIDENER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Cir- cuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Michael Vertoin Saunders, Appellant Pro Se. Lynne Ann Battaglia, United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland; Stuart A. Berman, As- sistant United States Attorney, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Michael Vertoin Saunders seeks to appeal 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 deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea- soning of the district court. See United States v. Saunders, Nos. CR-96-204; CA-98-1493-DKC (D. Md. Feb. 9, 1999). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
