Willie Lee Burke, Appellant Pro Se. Jan Paul Miller, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Appellant seeks to appeal from the district court's orders

dismissing for failure to obtain authorization pursuant to

(West Supp. 1997), his second motion filed under

(West 1994 & Supp. 1997), and denying his motion

for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no abuse of discretion and no reversible

error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and

dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Burke, Nos. CR-91-119; CA-97-498-K (D. Md. Apr. 29,

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
