PER CURIAM:

     Jasper E. Boykin appeals from the district court’s orders

denying his motions to vacate a settlement and for reconsideration.

Our review of the record and the district court’s opinion discloses

no reversible error and no abuse of discretion.    Accordingly, we

affirm on the reasoning of the district court.   See Boykin v. All-

state Ins. Co., No. CA-97-686-3-17 (D.S.C. May 26 & June 2, 1998).

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-

tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court

and argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
