versus
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE STATE COLLEGE SYSTEM
OF WEST VIRGINIA,
Defendant - Appellee,
and
BLUEFIELD STATE COLLEGE,
Defendant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern
District of West Virginia, at Bluefield. David A. Faber, District
Judge. (CA-96-2025-1)

Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Abdul Aziz, Appellant Pro Se. Charles R. Bailey, BAILEY & WYANT,
P.L.L.C., Charleston, West Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Abdul Aziz appeals the district court’s denial of a post
judgment motion filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). The
district court originally dismissed the action on its merits, and
we affirmed. Aziz v. Board of Directors, No. 99-1502, 1999 WL
734763 (4th Cir. Sept. 21, 1999) (unpublished), cert. denied, 529
U.S. 1004 (2000).
We review denial of a Rule 60(b) motion for abuse of
discretion. 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
Appellee’s motion to dismiss the appeal, deny Appellant’s motion
for jury trial, and affirm the district court’s order. 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.
AFFIRMED
