Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

            Joseph Paul Young appeals the district court’s orders

adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying

Young’s motion for appointment of counsel and for an evidentiary

hearing into his allegations that the Government breached his

plea   agreement,   and   denying   Young’s   subsequent   motion   for   a

certificate of appealability.        We have reviewed the record and

find   no   reversible    error.    Accordingly,   we   affirm   for   the

reasons stated by the district court.          United States v. Young,

Nos. 2:08-cr-00226-1; 2:12-cv-00002 (S.D.W. Va. Jan. 3, 2012,

May 24, 2012).      We also deny Young’s motion for reconsideration

of the district court’s orders.          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
