Richard Joseph Ramsey, Appellant Pro Se. Steve R. Matheny, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Richard Joseph Ramsey, a federal prisoner, appeals the

district court’s orders denying relief on his

(2000) petition and subsequent Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion for

reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. See Ramsey v. Stansberry, No. 5:06-hc-02187-D

(E.D.N.C. July 18, 2007). 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
