Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Andre Lamont Thurston appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for reconsideration and relief from judgment.

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.   United States v. Thurston, No. CR-95-15-F

(E.D.N.C. Aug. 7, 2001). We deny Thurston’s motion for appointment

of counsel and 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
