Assistant United States Attorney, Kenneth Davis Bell, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Donald   Devan   Edwards   appeals   the   district   court’s   order

denying his motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error, as

Edwards improperly invoked the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to

collaterally attack a criminal judgment. Accordingly, we affirm the

district court’s denial of Edwards’ motion for reconsideration. 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
