James Albert Brown, Appellant Pro Se. Henry Douglas Knight, Jr.,
Assistant United States Attorney, Columbia, South Carolina, for
Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     James Albert Brown appeals the district court’s order granting

the Government’s motion for payment of restrained funds to defray

legal expenses associated with his criminal trial.      We have re-

viewed 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. Brown, No. CR-95-443 (D.S.C.

May 7, 1999).   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
