See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court's order denying Appel-

lant's Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion. We have reviewed the record

and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the

appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Queen v. Brennan,
No. CA-95-859-WMN (D. Md. Oct. 23, 1997). 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
