Melvin Sumler, Appellant Pro Se. Nicholas Stephan Altimari, OFFICE
OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Melvin Sumler appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion for a new trial based upon newly discovered evidence.    We

have reviewed 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. Sumler, No. CR-96-116

(E.D. Va. Sept. 26, 2000).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
