PER CURIAM:
Michael Paul Puzey appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to alter
or amend judgment, Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e), in which he sought reconsideration of the
court’s prior order denying relief on Puzey’s Fed. R Civ. P. 60(d) (3) motion challenging
his underlying conviction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. United States v.
Puzey, Nos. 3:00-cr-00057-GMG-RWT-16; 3:00-cr-00064-GMG-2 (N.D.W. Va. Feb. 21,
2017). We deny Puzey’s motions for appointment of counsel and for bail or release
pending appeal; we grant Puzey’s motion to file a reply to the Government’s objection to
his motion for release. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument
would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
