PER CURIAM:

               Preston Darnell Roe appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion to unseal the presentence report of another

defendant      in   a    closed    criminal      case.     We     have    reviewed       the

record included on appeal as well as the parties’ briefs, and we

find no reversible error.                Accordingly, we affirm.              See United

States    Dep’t     of    Justice    v.    Julian,       486    U.S.     1,   12    (1988)

(holding that a third party must make a showing of a “special

need”    in     order      to     gain    access     to        another    individual’s

presentence report).            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
