This matter is before the court upon consideration of plaintiff's appeal from the district court's order denying his motion for relief under Rule 60(b), Fed.  R. Civ. P. Plaintiff filed the motion in district court for relief from its order dismissing his civil rights complaint and restraining him from filing further law suits in forma pauperis.  The matter has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.  Upon examination of the certified record and the plaintiff's brief, the panel agrees unanimously that oral argument is not needed.  Rule 34(a), Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

The district court dismissed the action as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915(d).  Thereafter, the district court restrained the plaintiff from filing further law suits in forma pauperis without leave of the court.  Plaintiff's motion for relief under Rule 60(b), Fed.  R. Civ. P. was overruled.
