Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Perry L. Colter, Appellant Pro Se. John Joseph Curran, Jr.,

Attorney General, Ann Norman Bosse, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM

Perry L. Colter seeks to appeal the district court§ 2254 (West 4 & Supp. 2001); and (2) denying his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001). Colter has already filed two prior appeals from this same district court order, and now seeks to raise the identical claims that he raised in the previous appeals.

Because we have already considered and dismissed these claims with regard to the same order in the prior appeals, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. See Colter v. Office of the StateÂ’s Attorney for Baltimore City , No. 02-6124(L), 2002 WL 440394 (4th Cir. Mar. 21, 2002) (unpublished). 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
