PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Craig Fellows appeals from the district court's order denying his motion to vacate judgment.*  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Fellows v. Corcoran, No. CA-92-1224-S (D. Md. Sept. 14, 1992).  We deny Fellows' motions for the appointment of counsel and for 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

*
 Fellows did not timely perfect an appeal of the August 18 order of dismissal;  his motion to vacate judgment is not a Fed.  R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion,  see Dove v. CODESCO, 569 F.2d 807 (4th Cir. 1978), and thus, the appeal period was not tolled.  See Fed.  R. App.  P. 4(a)(4).  Therefore, Fellows only perfected an appeal of the order denying his motion to vacate
