PER CURIAM:

       Milo Shammas appeals the district court’s order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)

motion for relief from a judgment awarding expenses in this trademark action. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons

stated by the district court. Shammas v. Lee, No. 1:12-cv-01462-TSE-TCB (E.D. Va.

May 9, 2016). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions

are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.
