PER CURIAM: John Gerald Gerant appeals the district court’s order granting in part and denying in part his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999). We have reviewed the record and the dis- trict court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Gerant, Nos. CR-91-126-H; CA-97-1181-H (D. Md. Sept. 9, 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
