Rosario A. Fiorani, Jr., Appellant Pro Se. G. David Hackney, As-
sistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Rosario A. Fiorani, Jr., appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for appointment of counsel.    We have reviewed

the record in this case, and in light of our previous ruling that

substitution of counsel will not be permitted, we find no revers-

ible error.   Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order.

United States v. Fiorani, No. CA-98-340-A (E.D. Va. Nov. 3, 2000).

We further deny Fiorani’s motion to change venue and to appoint new

counsel.   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
