2 PER CURIAM:

In appeal No. 97-6694, Appellant, a Maryland inmate, appeals

the district court's order denying relief on his motion for recon-

sideration of the court's order denying relief on his

(1994) complaint. In appeal No. 97-6848, Appellant appeals

the district court's orders denying relief on his § 1983 complaint under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915A (West Supp. 1997), and denying his motion

for reconsideration. We have reviewed the records and the district

court's opinions and find that the appeals are frivolous. Accord-

ingly, we dismiss the appeals on the reasoning of the district court. Ricks v. Thomas, No. CA-97-228-DKC (D. Md. Apr. 17, 1997); Ricks v. Sansor, No. CA-97-335-DKC (D. Md. Apr. 30, 1997). We dis- pense 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
