PER CURIAM:

     Appellant seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion to vacate the court’s order

denying relief on his petition filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254 (West

1994 & Supp. 1998). We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny

a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the rea-

soning of the district court. James v. Moore, No. CA-97-627-0-13BD

(D.S.C. Mar. 31, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the mate-

rials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.




                                                         DISMISSED
