Kenneth R. Patterson appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to file a belated direct appeal. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v. Patterson, No. 3:05-cr-00048-JRS-1 (E.D.Va. Jan. 10, 2008). 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.
