David M. Scates, Appellant Pro Se. Stephen Wiley Miller, Noelle
Dalrymple, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Richmond,
Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
David M. Scates seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his petition for a writ of error coram nobis and his motion
for criminal contempt. We have reviewed the record and the district
court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See United
States v. Scates, No. CR-98-87 (E.D. Va. July 18, 2003). 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
