See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997), and motions for reconsideration and recusal. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dis- miss these appeals on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Jones, Nos. CR-92-162; CA-96-740 (E.D. Va. Aug. 13; Sept.

10 & Oct. 30, 1996). Additionally, we deny Appellant's motion to stay the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
