Plaintiff-Appellee
v.
DARREN L. REAGAN, also known as Dr. Darren L. Reagan,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:07-CR-289-7
Before KING, JOLLY, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Darren L. Reagan, federal prisoner # 37109-177, appeals the denial of
his motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33; he also appeals the denials of related
motions to expedite proceedings, for appointment of a special prosecutor, for
appointment of counsel, to recuse the trial judge, and for discovery. This court
reviews the district court’s denial of Reagan’s motion for a new trial for an

abuse of discretion. See United States v. Piazza,
647 F.3d 559, 564 (5th Cir.
2011). “Generally, motions for new trial are disfavored and must be reviewed
with great caution.”
Id. at 565. Reagan has not shown that the evidence he
relies upon is noncumulative, material, or would likely result in his acquittal
if introduced at a new trial. See
id. Consequently, he fails to show that the
district court abused its discretion by denying his Rule 33 motion.
Id. at 564.
As all of Reagan’s remaining motions are contingent upon his litigating his
motion for a new trial, the district court likewise did not err by denying them.
AFFIRMED.
