PER CURIAM:
Reginald Gross appeals the district court’s order denying his
motion to reconsider, under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b), his prior
criminal judgment. * Because Gross cannot challenge an order in his
criminal case using the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, we
affirm. See United States v. O’Keefe, 169 F.3d 281, 289 (5th Cir.
1999) (holding that criminal defendant cannot challenge orders
entered in his criminal case using Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)); United
States v. Mosavi, 138 F.3d 1365, 1366 (11th Cir. 1998) (holding
“that the defendant cannot challenge the criminal forfeiture orders
at issue under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure”) (emphasis in
original). Accordingly, we affirm. 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
