    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 05-2275
    CHUKWUMA E. AZUBUKO,
    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    DORCHESTER DISTRICT COURT FOR MASSACHUSETTS,
    Defendant - Appellee.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
    District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior
    District Judge. (CA-04-403-1)
    Submitted: March 23, 2006                   Decided: March 27, 2006
    Before WILKINSON, LUTTIG, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Chukwuma E. Azubuko, Appellant Pro Se. Sookyoung Shin, OFFICE OF
    THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, Boston, Massachusetts, for Appellee.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    See Local Rule 36(c).
    PER CURIAM:
    Chukwuma E. Azubuko appeals the district court’s order
    denying relief on his 
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     (2000) complaint under 
    28 U.S.C. § 1915
    (e)(2)(B)(i) (2000).        We have reviewed the record and
    find that this appeal is frivolous.          Accordingly, we dismiss the
    appeal   for   the   reasons   stated   by   the   district   court.     See
    Azubuko v. Dorchester Dist. Court, No. CA-04-403-1 (E.D. Va. filed
    Oct. 24, 2005 & entered Oct. 25, 2005).        Further, we conclude that
    the   district   court   did   not   abuse   its   discretion   in   denying
    Azubuko’s motions to reconsider, for new trial, and to vacate. See
    United States v. Winestock, 
    340 F.3d 200
    , 204 (4th Cir. 2003)
    (“District court decisions granting or denying [Fed. R. Civ. P.]
    60(b) relief are reviewed for abuse of discretion. . . .”).               We
    deny Azubuko’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis.             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.
    DISMISSED
