PER CURIAM:

Jeffrey R. MacDonald appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for additional DNA testing pursuant to the 

Innocence Protection Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 3600 to 3600A (2012). We 

have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district 

court. United States v. MacDonald, No. 3:75-cr-00026-F-1 

(E.D.N.C. Aug. 8, 2014). 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
