Mark Madison Lowe, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Mark Madison Lowe appeals the district court’s order construing his Fed. R. Civ.

P. 60(b), (d) motion as an unauthorized successive 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition and

dismissing for lack of jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny as unnecessary a

certificate of appealability (COA), and affirm. See United States v. McRae, 793 F.3d

392, 400 (4th Cir. 2015) (“[W]e need not issue a COA before determining whether the

district court erred in dismissing [a] purported Rule 60(b) motion as an unauthorized

successive habeas petition.”). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                             AFFIRMED
