PER CURIAM:

     Carey Cline appeals from the district court’s order denying

his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion for relief from the court’s judg-

ment order directing the West Virginia Commissioner of Labor to

draw on a wage bond to satisfy an unpaid judgment.     We have pre-

viously granted the motion to submit this case for a decision on

the briefs without oral argument.     We now affirm.

     Cline asserts that the district court abused its discretion in

denying his Rule 60(b) motion and that the court did not have the

authority to issue a suggestion order directing the Commissioner of

Labor to draw on the wage bond.   We have reviewed the materials in

the Joint Appendix and the arguments presented in the parties’

briefs and find no abuse of discretion and no reversible error.

See Heyman v. M.L. Mktg. Co., 116 F.3d 91, 94 (4th Cir. 1997).

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Holland v. Lake Energy, Inc., No. CA-98-467-2 (S.D.W. Va. June 18,

2001).
