Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


Barry McCormick, Appellant Pro Se. Bruce Charles Johnson, OFFICE OF
THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his mo-

tion to extend the appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). We

have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm because Appellant's

motion was untimely. We dispense with oral argument because the
facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         AFFIRMED
