Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Travis Starks, Appellant Pro Se. Elizabeth Jean Howard, Regan
Alexandra Pendleton, Assistant United States Attorneys,
Greenville, South Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Travis Starks appeals the district court’s oral order,
entered on the docket on February 20, 2013, denying his motion
to compel the Government to file a substantial assistance
motion. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. Accordingly, we affirm as Starks failed to make a
substantial threshold showing that the Government’s decision not
to file the substantial assistance motion was based on an
unconstitutional motive or was not rationally related to any
legitimate Government end. See Wade v. United States, 504 U.S.
181, 185-86 (1992). 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
