PER CURIAM: Robert Peter Russell appeals the district court’s order denying his Fed. R. Crim. P. motion for a new trial. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. United States v. Russell, No. 1:91-cr- 00056-LMB-1 (E.D. Va. filed May 27, 2025, & entered May 28, 2025). We deny as moot Russell’s motion for bail or release pending appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
