Before K.K. HALL, JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, and MURNAGHAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Albert Charles Burgess, Jr., appeals the district court's denial of his motion filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) (5) and (6) seeking relief from a judgment entered October 28, 1985, in Burgess' civil action seeking damages. When considering the denial of a motion for relief under Rule 60(b), this Court's standard of review is whether the district court abused its discretion. See Transportation, Inc. v. Mayflower Services, Inc., 769 F.2d 952, 954 (4th Cir. 1985); Harman v. Pauley, 678 F.2d 479, 480 (4th Cir. 1982). Finding no abuse of discretion, we affirm.

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal arguments were adequately presented in the informal briefs and record and the decisional process would not be significantly aided by oral argument.

AFFIRMED.
