Bruce Samuels, Appellant Pro Se. Alan Mark Salsbury, Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Bruce Samuels appeals the district court’s order

denying his

(2006) motion for reduction of

sentence. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis

and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district

court. United States v. Samuels, No. 2:93-cr-00066-HCM-5 (E.D.

Va. May 9, 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.

DISMISSED
