Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1217. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. United States v. Alamin, Nos. CR- 91-58-P; CA-95-300-P (W.D.N.C. Dec. 20, 1995). We also deny Appel- lant's motion for the preparation of a transcript at the Govern- ment's expense. See 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (1988). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequate- ly presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
