Craig Lawrence Thomas, Appellant Pro Se. Raymond Allen Bonner, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

(1988) motion. 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 as

frivolous on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Thomas, Nos. CR-90-475-HAR; CA-96-136-HAR (D. Md. June 19, 1996).

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
