(CR- 96-175-CCB, CA-97-4282-CCB) 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 Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Ronald William Hammond, Appellant Pro Se. Lynne Ann Battaglia, United States Attorney, Gregory Welsh, Assistant United States At- torney, Katharine Jacobs Armentrout, Assistant United States Attor- ney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Ronald William Hammond seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1998), and declining to grant relief from the judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. According- ly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Hammond, Nos. CR-96-175-CCB; CA-97-4282-CCB (D. Md. Dec. 22, 1998). 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 2
