Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

          John David Mooney pled guilty to possession of a firearm

by a convicted felon in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g), 924(a)(2)

(2000).   On appeal, he alleges that the district court erred by

denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea.       We do not find

that the district court abused its discretion in denying Mooney’s

motion to withdraw.   United States v. Ubakanma, 215 F.3d 421, 424

(4th Cir. 2000).   Thus, we affirm.   We also deny Mooney’s motion to

stay case.    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
