Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Peter J. Messitte, District Judge. (CA- 97-2377-PJM) Submitted: February 26, 1998 Decided: March 16, 1998 Before WILKINS, NIEMEYER, and HAMILTON, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Donald C. McGean, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his motion for reconsideration of judgment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). We review such an order for abuse of discretion. Heyman v. M.L. Mktg. Co., 116 F.3d 91, 94 (4th Cir. 1997). Appellant argued in the motion that the district court erred in failing to consider his amended complaint. But the changes in the amended complaint do not affect the district court's dismissal of the case for lack of jurisdiction. Therefore, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to reconsider, and we affirm the 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 2
