UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 99-6469

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus

JESUS ALBERTO SARMIENTO, Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Alexander Williams, Jr., District Judge. (CR-95-389-AW)

Submitted: July 8, 1999 Decided: July 15, 1999

Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jesus Alberto Sarmiento, Appellant Pro Se. Barbara Suzanne Skalla, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Sarmiento moved in the district court for an extension of time in which to file a 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999) motion.

The court denied the motion, and Sarmiento filed a motion for re- consideration of that order, which the court denied. Sarmiento now appeals the denial of the motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Sarmiento’s motion for reconsideration.

See National Org. for Women v. Operation Rescue, 47 F.3d 667, 669 (4th Cir. 1995). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. 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
