PER CURIAM:
Emmanuel Thad Ereme was sentenced to 144 months in
prison after a jury convicted him of conspiracy to dispense,
distribute and possess with intent to distribute Schedule II
controlled substances, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 846 (2006),
and several counts of unlawfully dispensing various Schedule II
controlled substances, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1)
(2006). After the district court denied his 28 U.S.C. § 2255
(West Supp. 2009) motion, the district court granted Ereme’s
motion for a certificate of appealability. We have reviewed the
record and the district court’s order and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. See
United States v. Ereme, Nos. 8:02-cr-00478-PJM-2; 8:08-cv-00671-
PJM (D. Md. filed July 22, 2009; entered July 23, 2009). 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.
AFFIRMED
