¶1Paul McDonald petitions for a writ of error pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (2000). Because McDonald has not demonstrated his right to the relief sought, we deny relief.* Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of error. We also deny McDonald’s motions for a jury trial, to place his case in abeyance, to consolidate this case with a prior appeal, and to ap*251point counsel. 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.
