See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Wilton Beltre appeals the district court’s order denying his

motion for reconsideration.*     We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and order and find no reversible error.

See Williams, 674 F.2d at 312.    We dispense with oral argument be-

cause the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.




                                                            AFFIRMED
