Before FAHY, WASHINGTON and DANAHER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


The notice of appeal is from an order of the District Court of November 13, 1958, in Executive Session,1  denying the "Petition or Motion" of appellant filed in the District Court July 30, 1958, for reconsideration by the District Court of his application for admission to the bar. The application had been denied by the District Court, holding a General Term, on March 8, 1951, and again by action of the District Court dated June 30, 1955, in the form of a letter from the Chief Judge. From neither the action of the court on March 8, 1951, nor June 30, 1955, was an appeal attempted to be prosecuted. Moreover, the motion for reconsideration filed July 30, 1958, was out of time because it failed to satisfy Rule 60(b), Fed. R. Civ. P. 28 U.S.C.A. For these reasons, and without the necessity of considering other questions raised, the appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

It is so ordered.
