Collin Henry, Appellant Pro Se. Beth Perovich Gesner, Assistant 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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 the district court's orders denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997) and denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dis- miss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court that Appel- lant failed to obtain authorization to file this successive motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 2244 (West 1994 & Supp. 1997). United States v. Henry, Nos. CR-89-362-S; CA-97-3646-S (D. Md. Oct. 22, 1997; Nov. 14, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate- rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
