2 PER CURIAM:

Appellants seek to appeal the district court's orders denying

their motions filed under

(West 1994 & Supp.

1997). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opin-

ions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny certifi-

cates of appealability and dismiss the appeals on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Ortiz, Nos. CR-92-301-S; CA- 97-1065-S (D. Md. Apr. 17, 1997); United States v. Scott, Nos. CR- 92-301-S; CA-97-1182-S (D. Md. Apr. 24, 1997); United States v.

Jones, Nos. CR-92-301-S; CA-97-1103-S (D. Md. Apr. 18, 1997). 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
