PER CURIAM:

     Raphael Mendez appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion to remove his attorney.        We have reviewed the record and

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

stated by the district court.    United States v. Mendez, No. 5:91-

hc-00350-BR (E.D.N.C. Jan. 20, 2016).         We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.
