1Opinion of the Court

W. EUGENE DAVIS, Circuit Judge:

*339 Chris G. Gilkers, Louisiana prisoner # 442378, appeals the district court's denial of his Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) motion, which he filed seeking relief from the district court's judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The district court determined that Gilkers's Rule 60(b) motion should be construed as a successive § 2254 petition, requiring authorization from this Court prior to filing as set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 2244 (b)(3). Concluding that the district court did not err, we AFFIRM.
