Assistant United States Attorney, Greenbelt, Maryland, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Damon Emanuel Elliott appeals the district court’s order

declining to file Elliott’s free-standing DNA motion.                    We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                 Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                    United

States   v.   Elliott,    No.    8:97-cr-00053-PJM-1      (D.    Md.    Oct.   31,

2016).     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
