Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

2 PER CURIAM:

Richard Charles Norton appeals the district court’s order

denying is motion for an evidentiary hearing and a subsequent order

entering a stay of judgment pending appeal. 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. Norton,

No. 99-78 (W.D. Va. Jan. 31, 2003 & Mar. 21, 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
