Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Willard Russell Meadows appeals from the district court’s orders denying his two Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motions seeking recon- sideration of the court’s prior orders dismissing his complaint filed under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2000). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s orders and find no abuse of discretion. See In re Burnley, 988 F.2d 1, 3 (4th Cir. 1992). Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Meadows v. Ratcliffe, No. CA-99-624-R (W.D. Va. Jan. 30 & Feb. 12, 2001). We deny the motion 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 2
