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
