Before NIEMEYER and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

George Roger Siegel, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

                                  2
PER CURIAM:

     In these consolidated cases, George Roger Siegel appeals two

orders of the district court.         In No. 03-1057, he challenges the

district court’s order dismissing his complaint for lack of subject

matter jurisdiction.         We review de novo the district court’s

decision to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Tillman v. Resolution

Trust Corp., 37 F.3d 1032, 1034 (4th Cir. 1994).              Having reviewed

the record and finding no reversible error, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court.              See Siegel v. Arlington

County Dep’t of Community Planning, No. CA-02-902-A (E.D. Va. filed

Dec. 2, 2002 & entered Dec. 5, 2002).

     In No. 03-1220, Siegel appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion for relief from judgment pursuant to Fed. R.

Civ. P. 60(a), (b)(4).       We review denial of a motion to correct a

clerical mistake, Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(a), for abuse of discretion.

Kocher v. Dow Chem. Co., 132 F.3d 1225, 1229 (8th Cir. 1997).              We

find no such abuse of discretion. Siegel also moved for relief from

judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(4), asserting that the

judgment was void.     We review Rule 60(b)(4) motions de novo.           New

York Life Ins. Co. v. Brown, 84 F.3d 137, 142 (5th Cir. 1996).

Having reviewed Siegel’s allegations and the district court’s

ruling   de   novo,   we   conclude   that   the   district    court’s   order

dismissing the action was not void or otherwise subject to attack.

                                      3
     We deny Siegel’s motion to remand.    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
