DISMISSED IN NO.92-6619 AND AFFIRMED IN NO.92-6785.

Before WIDENER, HALL, and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

OPINION

PER CURIAM:


These cases have been consolidated for purposes of appeal. In No. 92-6619, Zelda D. Braswell filed a premature notice of appeal. Because there was no judgment or order in the district court, this court has no jurisdiction over the appeal; No. 92-6619 is therefore dismissed, and Braswell's motion to hold this case in abeyance is denied. In No. 92-6785, Braswell appeals from the district court's order refusing relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1988). Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Braswell, No. CR-89-391-JFM (D. Md. July 10, 1992). 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.

No. 92-6619-DISMISSED

No. 92-6785-AFFIRMED
