See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Hilton Thomas appeals the district court’s order denying

his Fed. R. Civ. P. 33 motion for a new trial.          We have reviewed

the record and find no reversible error.        Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court.      See United States v.

Hilton, No. CR-97-355-WMN (D. Md. July 30, 2003). 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
