See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Kenneth Pierre Ford appeals from the district court’s order

denying his request for an order directing the Bureau of Prisons to

permit Ford and his co-defendant to serve their sentences at the

same facility.     We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

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

district court.         See United States v. Ford, No. CR-91-429-A (E.D.

Va. Nov. 27, 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
