See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Simon Chow seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying

his motion for relief from the court’s order denying his motion

filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999).   We have reviewed

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

discretion in the denial of the motion.     See National Org. for

Women v. Operation Rescue, 47 F.3d 667, 669 (4th Cir. 1995).   Chow

did not establish any extraordinary circumstances warranting relief

under Rule 60(b), Fed. R. Civ. P.   See Ackermann v. United States,

340 U.S. 193, 202 (1950).   Accordingly, we deny a certificate of

appealability and dismiss the appeal.   We dispense with oral argu-

ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre-

sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.




                                                          DISMISSED
