Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying his

motions for rehearing, properly construed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.

P. 60(b), and for oral argument. We have reviewed the record and

the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. See
United States v. Williams, 674 F.2d 310, 312 (4th Cir. 1982). Ac-

cordingly, we deny a certificate of probable cause and dismiss on

the reasoning of the district court. Lakes v. Witkowski, No. CA-94-

2971-3-OBC (D.S.C. Dec. 11, 1995). 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
