See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Abdul Aziz appeals the district court’s denial of a post judg-

ment motion filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b).   The district

court originally dismissed the action as untimely filed, and this

court affirmed.   Aziz v. Orbital Sciences Corp., No. 98-1281, 1998

WL 736469 (4th Cir. Oct. 19, 1998) (unpublished).

     We review denial of a Rule 60(b) motion for abuse of discre-

tion.   Eberhardt v. Integrated Design & Constr., Inc., 167 F.3d

861, 869 (4th Cir. 1999).    Having reviewed the district court’s

order denying the motion, we conclude that the court did not abuse

its discretion in denying the requested relief. Therefore, we deny

leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal.      We

dispense with 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.

                                                         DISMISSED
