See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Mark Paul Sarno appeals from the district court’s order af-

firming the magistrate judge’s order denying Sarno’s motion for the

magistrate judge to recuse himself from all further proceedings.

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.   United States v. Sarno, Nos. CR-99-58; CR-

99-134; CR-99-135 (M.D.N.C. Jan. 18, 2001).   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
