Quinton Leon Sutton, Appellant Pro Se.     Sandra Jane Hairston,
Assistant United States Attorney, Greensboro, North Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Quinton Leon Sutton appeals the district court’s order

affirming the magistrate judge’s order denying Sutton’s motion for

reconsideration of the denial of his motion to compel discovery.

We   have   reviewed   the   record   and   find   no   reversible   error.

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis,

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

States v. Sutton, No. CR-98-355 (M.D.N.C. Aug. 6, 2003).                 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
