PER CURIAM:

Raphael Mendez appeals the district court’s order denying his 

motion to remove his attorney. We have reviewed the record and 

find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons 

stated by the district court. United States v. Mendez, No. 5:91-

hc-00350-BR (E.D.N.C. Jan. 20, 2016). 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
