See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Patrick Lewis Rudd appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for reconsideration of the denial of his motion

to reinstate the appeal period.    We have reviewed the record and

find no reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court.   United States v. Rudd, No. 7:97-cr-

00063-H-3 (E.D.N.C. filed May 13, 2006; entered May 19, 2006 &

filed May 15, 2006; entered May 18, 2006).   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
