Stewart Dean Dale, Appellant Pro Se. 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Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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:

     Appellant appeals the district court's orders denying his

motions for the return of seized property under Fed. R. Crim. P.

41(e) and for reconsideration. 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.
Dale, No. CR-94-36 (W.D.N.C. Mar. 1 & Apr. 10, 1996). We deny Ap-

pellant's motions for authorization for preparation of a transcript

at government expense and for appointment of 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
