- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Jeffrey W. Johnston appeals from the district court’s

garnishment disposition order granting the Government’s writs of

continuing garnishment and denying Johnston’s motion to quash

writs, and from the subsequent denial of his motion to reconsider,

alter, and amend the garnishment disposition order. We find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. See United States v. Johnston, No. CR-01-132

(D.S.C. May 3 & June 10, 2004). 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
