Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Michael J. Sindram appeals a district court order denying

his motion for reconsideration under Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure 60(b). We have reviewed the district court’s order and

the record and find the appeal frivolous. Sindram failed to allege

any proper grounds for reconsideration. Moreover, on appeal, he

failed to specifically challenge the district court’s findings in

this regard. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as frivolous.* 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

* We agree with the district court that Sindram has a history of filing vexatious and frivolous cases, many of which resulted in meritless appeals. If Sindram continues this conduct, which waste judicial resources, this court will consider ordering sanctions and a pre-filing injunction.
