PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, Ayodele Harrison Arasokun appeals the district
court’s orders denying his two Fed. R. Crim. P. 33 motions for a new trial. To succeed on
a Rule 33 motion, a defendant must establish all of the following: “that (1) the evidence
is newly discovered; (2) the defendant exercised due diligence; (3) the newly discovered
evidence is not merely cumulative or impeaching; (4) the evidence is material; and (5) the
evidence would probably result in acquittal at a new trial.” United States v. Ali, 991 F.3d
561, 571 (4th Cir. 2021) (citation modified).
Upon review of the record, we discern no abuse of discretion in the district court’s
denials of Arasokun’s motions. See id. at 570 (stating standard of review). Accordingly,
we deny Arasokun’s motion for judicial notice, and we affirm the district court’s orders.
United States v. Arasokun, No. 3:17-cr-00086-GMG-RWT-1 (N.D. W. Va. Oct. 1, 2025;
Oct. 28, 2025). 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
