PER CURIAM: In these consolidated appeals, Appellants appeal from district court orders denying their motions filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994) (current version at 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997)) and, in No. 96-6621, two motions for reconsideration of that order. We have reviewed the record, the district court's opinions and orders, and the report and recommendation of the magistrate judge and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm all of the orders on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Brown, Nos. CR-90-128-MJG, CA-94-27-MJG; United States v. Dixon, Nos. CR-90-128-MJG, CA-94-26-MJG (D. Md. Nov. 15, 1995; Mar. 11 and Apr. 1, 1996). See Lindh v. Murphy, 521 U.S. ___, 1997 WL 338568 (U.S. June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). 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.
