OPINION

Samuel F. Street appeals from a district court order denying an untimely second motion for reconsideration of the dismissal of his complaint. Street's second, untimely motion for reconsideration was, in effect, a Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion. See United States v. Williams, 674 F.2d 310, 312 (4th Cir. 1982). Because the motion merely moved for reconsideration of a legal issue-whether his claim was barred under the statute of limitations-it was improper and unauthorized. Id. Thus, the motion was properly denied. Id. at 313. The district court did not err. Therefore, we affirm the order denying the motion. 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
