PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his Fed.

R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion for reconsideration in his legal malprac-

tice action. We have reviewed the record and the district court's

order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court. Cheek v. Bender, No. CA-95-410-3-
MU (W.D.N.C. July 10, 1997). We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
