PER CURIAM:
Michael Rankins appeals from the district court’s order denying his motion to have
DNA testing performed on a ski mask recovered from the scene of a bank robbery. We
have reviewed the record included on appeal and find no reversible error. See 18 U.S.C.
§ 3600(a)(9) (2018). Therefore, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.
United States v. Rankins, No. 2:14-cr-00003-FL-1 (E.D.N.C. Aug. 12, 2019). 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
