PER CURIAM:
Gregory D. Graves appeals the district court’s order construing his motions for
reconsideration under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) and for appointment of counsel as an
unauthorized successive 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition and dismissing for lack of
jurisdiction. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court. Graves v. Kiser, No. 7:18-cv-00345-JLK-RSB (W.D. Va. July 17, 2018). We
deny a certificate of appealability as unnecessary. See United States v. McRae, 793 F.3d
392, 397-99 (4th Cir. 2015). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument
would not aid in the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
