PER CURIAM:

     Derek E. Mattison seeks to appeal an order of the district

court denying his motion to reconsider its prior order denying his

request to correct the judgment and commitment order of his 1993

federal convictions.   We review the district court’s denial of a

motion to reconsider for abuse of discretion.    Pacific Ins. Co. v.

American Nat. Fire Ins. Co., 

, 402 (4th Cir. 1998),

cert. denied, ___ U.S. ___, 

 (U.S. Jan. 19, 1999)

(No. 98-742).   Finding no such abuse of discretion here, we deny a

certificate of appealability 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 oral

argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          DISMISSED
