See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Abdul Aziz appeals the district court’s denial of a post-
judgment motion Aziz filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). The
district court originally granted summary judgment to defendant in
this action; this court affirmed that decision. Aziz v. Board of
Directors of the State College Sys. of W. Va., No. 99-1502, 1999 WL
734763 (4th Cir. Sept. 21, 1999) (unpublished), cert. denied, 120
S. Ct. 1268 (2000).
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). A Rule 60(b) motion is not a substitute
for appeal. In re Burnley, 988 F.2d 1, 3 (4th Cir. 1992). Having
reviewed the district court’s order denying the motion, we conclude
that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the re-
quested relief. Therefore, we affirm the district court’s order.
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal conten-
tions are adequately presented in the materials before the court
and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
