Fernando M. Smith, Appellant Pro Se. Andrea L. Smith, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

Fernando M. Smith seeks to appeal the district court’s orders

denying his motion filed under

(West 1994 &

Supp. 1998), his motion for reconsideration, and his motion for an

evidentiary hearing. We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny

a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court. United States v. Smith, Nos. CR-95-

499-AW; CA-97-2089-AW (D. Md. Apr. 20, 1998, Nov. 5, 1997, & Oct.

20, 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
