2 PER CURIAM:

Robert W. Petty seeks to appeal from the district court’s

orders denying his motion filed under

(West

Supp. 2001), and denying his motions for discovery and for prepa-

ration of a transcript at government expense. We have reviewed the

record and the district court’s opinion and orders and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, while we grant Petty’s motion to

file an oversized application for a certificate of appealability,

we deny his motion for a certificate of appealability and dismiss

the appeals on the reasoning of the district court. United States

v. Petty, Nos. CR-97-107; CA-99-3672-DKC (D. Md. filed Apr. 16,

2001 & entered May 2, 2001; June 15, 2001). 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
