Rupert O. Stonecipher, Appellant Pro Se. Hunter P. Smith, Jr.,
Assistant United States Attorney, Charleston, West Virginia, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Rupert Stonecipher appeals the district court's order denying

Stonecipher's motion to remit his fine. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Ac-

cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United
States v. Stonecipher, No. CR-90-156 (S.D.W. Va. Sept. 10, 1996).

Stonecipher's motion for provision of transcript at government ex-

pense is denied. 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
