Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

              Calvin Merle Muncy, Jr., appeals the district court’s

order denying his motion to modify the fine imposed as part of his

criminal sentence.      Because only the government has the authority

under 18 U.S.C. § 3573 (2000) to petition for modification or

remission of a fine, and because the time for appealing from the

sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C.A. § 3742 (West 2000 & Supp. 2005)

has expired, we affirm. We dispense 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

                                     - 2 -
