Before WILKINS, MICHAEL, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James Edward Ellerbe, Appellant Pro Se. John Samuel Bowler, Assistant United States Attorney, Anne Margaret Hayes, 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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: James Edward Ellerbe appeals the district court’s orders denying his motion for a court order, denying his supplemental motion for a court order, denying his second supplemental motion for a court order, and denying his motion for a downward departure.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm the orders of the district court. See United States v. Ellerbe, No. CR-97-100 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 30, 2002; filed Nov. 5, 2002 & entered Nov. 6, 2002). 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
