Abdula F. Gordon, Appellant Pro Se. Bonnie S. Greenberg, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his

motion filed under

(1994) (current version at

(West 1994 & Supp. 1997)). We have reviewed the

record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Gordon, Nos. CR-91-118-JH; CA-95-70-HNM (D. Md. Jan. 12, 1997). See Lindh v. Murphy,

,

(U.S. June 23, 1997) (No. 96-6298). Additionally, we deny

Appellant's motion to appoint counsel. 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.

AFFIRMED
