Herman Lee Tate appeals the district court’s order denying his petition for a writ of mandamus. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See United States v. Tate, No. CR-98-125-9-V (W.D.N.C. filed Sept. 25, 2002; entered Oct. 2, 2002). We dispense with oral argument because the *169 facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
