PER CURIAM:

     Trevor Little appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion for relief from judg-

ment.   We have reviewed the record and Little’s informal brief and

find that Little is not entitled to relief because the case upon

which he relies, Slack v. Daniel, 529 U.S. 473 (2000), does not

call into question the validity of the denial of a certificate of

appealability in Little’s prior appeal.                  See United States v.

Little,   No.   99-7489   (4th   Cir.       Feb.   22,   2000)   (unpublished).

Accordingly, we deny Little’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis,

deny a certificate of appealability, and dismiss the appeal.                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.




                                                                      DISMISSED
