AFFIRMED.
Before WIDENER and K.K. HALL, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Frank Ervin Altizer, Jr., appeals from an order of the magistrate judge1 denying his motions filed pursuant to Rule 60(b)(1) and (6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Our review of the record discloses that the basis for Altizer's motions was previously reviewed by this Court in Altizer v. Larson, No. 89-7665 (4th Cir. Nov. 3, 1989) (unpublished). Our prior ruling therefore constitutes the law of the case in this matter, divesting the magistrate judge of jurisdiction to consider Altizer's motions. See Fine v. Bellefonte Underwriters Ins. Co., 758 F.2d 50 (2d Cir.1985). Noting that Altizer's motions cite to no circumstances which would bring this case within the purview of Standard Oil Co. v. United States, 429 U.S. 17 (1976), we affirm the magistrate judge's decision to deny Altizer's motions. Altizer v. Larson, CA-89-23-R (W.D.Va. Oct. 5 and Nov. 20, 1990). 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.
AFFIRMED.
The parties consented to reference of this case to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 636(c)(2)
