Before WILKINS, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ellus Larous, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Gordon James, Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Ellus Larous appeals the district court’s orders denying his

motion filed under

(West 2000) and his motion

for reconsideration of that order. We have reviewed the record and

the district court’s orders and find no reversible error. Accord-

ingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United

States v. Larous, No. CR-98-7-FO (E.D.N.C. Aug. 1 & 31, 2000). 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
