    Bridget Smallwood appealed the district court's denial of relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, which allows prisoners to challenge their sentences. The Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's ruling without hearing oral arguments, finding that Smallwood's appeal was without merit based on the record and reasoning provided by the lower court. The Fourth Circuit's per curiam opinion adopted the reasoning of the district court, which had previously denied Smallwood's petition to challenge her sentence.

    Submitted: May 7, 1992
    Decided: June 2, 1992

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland,
    at Baltimore. Norman P. Ramsey, District Judge. (CR-90-99-R, CA-92648-R)
    Bridget Michele Smallwood, Appellant Pro Se.
    D.Md.
    AFFIRMED.
    Before HALL, PHILLIPS, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
    OPINION
    PER CURIAM:

    Bridget M. Smallwood 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. Smallwood, Nos. CR-90-99R, CA-92-648-R (D. Md. Mar. 11, 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.
    AFFIRMED
