Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the magistrate judge's order denying

his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion.   We have reviewed the record and

the magistrate judge's opinion and find no reversible error. See
United States v. Williams, 

, 312 (4th Cir. 1982). Ac-

cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Wagner

v. Virginia Dep't of Corrections, No. CA-95-657-3 (E.D. Va. Apr. 9,

1996). 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.
