Richard Earl Wilson, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. Kevin Michael Comstock,
OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Richard Earl Wilson, Jr., appeals from the district court’s

order denying relief on his motion in which he challenges the

validity of his sentence after Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466

(2000).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.       See United States v. Wilson, No.

CA-95-49 (E.D. Va. filed Feb. 28, 2002; entered Mar. 1, 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
