Michael J. Sindram, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Michael J. Sindram appeals the district court’s marginal order

denying his motion for a hearing and appointment of counsel.     We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no

reversible error.   Accordingly, we affirm.   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
