Joseph Allen Smith, Appellant Pro Se. James Patrick McDonald, Special Assistant United States Attorney, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Joseph Allen Smith appeals the district court’s order

denying his Motion for a Protective Order. We have reviewed the

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

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

Smith, No. 1:10-cr-00438-LMB-1 (E.D. Va. filed Apr. 27, 2012;

entered Apr. 30, 2012). 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
