PER CURIAM:

      James Edward Ellerbe appeals the district court’s orders

denying his motion for a court order, denying his supplemental

motion for a court order, denying his second supplemental motion

for a court order, and denying his motion for a downward departure.

We   have   reviewed   the   record   and   find   no   reversible   error.

Accordingly, we affirm the orders of the district court. See United

States v. Ellerbe, No. CR-97-100 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 30, 2002; filed

Nov. 5, 2002 & entered Nov. 6, 2002).              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
