- 2 - PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, Elbert Thomas Knight

appeals the district court’s order denying reconsideration of his

motion seeking an order to compel the Government to file a motion

to reduce his sentence based on substantial assistance. 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. Knight, Nos. 2:96-cr-00196-HCM; 2:00-cr-00056-RAJ (E.D.

Va. filed Feb. 27, 2007; entered Feb. 28, 2007). 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
