    The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of Travis Starks' motion to compel the government to file a substantial assistance motion. The court reviewed the record and found no reversible error. It determined that Starks failed to make a substantial threshold showing that the government's decision not to file the motion was based on an unconstitutional motive or not rationally related to a legitimate government purpose. The court dispensed with oral argument, finding the facts and legal issues were adequately presented.
