PER CURIAM:

     Willard Russell Meadows appeals from the district court’s

orders denying his two Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motions seeking recon-

sideration of the court’s prior orders dismissing his complaint

filed under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000).   We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s orders and find no abuse of

discretion.   See In re Burnley, 988 F.2d 1, 3 (4th Cir. 1992).

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.

Meadows v. Ratcliffe, No. CA-99-624-R (W.D. Va. Jan. 30 & Feb. 12,

2001).   We deny the motion for 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
