PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Elbert Thomas Knight
appeals the district court’s order denying reconsideration of his
motion seeking an order to compel the Government to file a motion
to reduce his sentence based on substantial assistance. 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. Knight, Nos. 2:96-cr-00196-HCM; 2:00-cr-00056-RAJ (E.D.
Va. filed Feb. 27, 2007; entered Feb. 28, 2007). 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
