UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

versus
FRANKLIN PAUL HUNT,
Defendant - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. W. Earl Britt, Senior
District Judge. (CR-96-27-BR)
Submitted: June 20, 2002 Decided: June 26, 2002
Before MICHAEL and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Franklin Paul Hunt, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Edward Skiver,
Assistant United States Attorney, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Franklin Paul Hunt appeals the district court’s denial of a
postjudgment motion filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). The
district court dismissed the underlying 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West
Supp. 2001) motion on its merits on July 20, 1999. In November
2001, Hunt moved for relief from judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.
P. 60(b).
We review denial of a Rule 60(b) motion for abuse of
discretion. United States v. Holland, 214 F.3d 523, 527 (4th Cir.
2000). Having reviewed the relevant documents and 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 affirm the district court’s ruling. 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
