Linda Taylor, Appellant Pro Se. Thomas Oliver Mucklow, Assistant
United States Attorney, Martinsburg, West Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Linda Taylor appeals from the denial of her Fed. R. Civ. P.

60(b) motion, which sought reconsideration of the denial of her 28

U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2001) motion as untimely.           We find that

Taylor’s untimely and conclusory allegations of illness are insuf-

ficient to equitably toll the statute of limitations.               See Harris

v. Hutchinson, 209 F.3d 325, 330 (4th Cir. 2000) (holding that

movant   must   show   extraordinary       circumstances   before   equitable

tolling will apply). Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appeal-

ability, deny permission to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
