    Connell Spain, Sr. appealed the district court's denial of his request for court records under the Freedom of Information Act. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reviewed the record and found no reversible error, affirming the district court's ruling. The appellate court determined that oral argument was not necessary because the facts and legal issues were adequately presented to the court already. The district court's denial of Spain's request was therefore upheld.

    Before ERVIN, NIEMEYER, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

    Connell Spain, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Connell Spain, Sr., appeals the district courts denying his
    request for court records pursuant to the Freedom of Information
    Act, 5 U.S.C. 552 (1994).

    We have reviewed the record and the

    district courts opinion and find no reversible error.

    According-

    ly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

    See United

    States v. Spain, No. CR-82-60-N (E.D. Va. June 19, 1998).

    We dis-

    pense 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
