Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Elizabeth City. Louise W. Flanagan, District Judge. (2:14-cr-00003-FL-1)

Before WILKINSON, KEENAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Michael Rankins, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Michael Rankins appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion to have

DNA testing performed on a ski mask recovered from the scene of a bank robbery. We

have reviewed the record included on appeal and find no reversible error. See 18 U.S.C.

§ 3600(a)(9) (2018). Therefore, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.

United States v. Rankins, No. 2:14-cr-00003-FL-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 12, 2019). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before this Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
