Timothy A. Pledger, Appellant Pro Se. Christopher Scott Boynton,
Kimberly Rouse Essendelft, CITY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Virginia Beach,
Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Timothy A. Pledger appeals the district court’s order denying

his motion to reconsider under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b).       We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error.    Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court.     See Pledger v. City of Virginia, No. CA-00-598-2

(E.D. Va. Apr. 12, 2002).      We deny Pledger leave to proceed in

forma pauperis and 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.




                                                            AFFIRMED
