OPINION
PER CURIAM:
Reginald Chambers appeals the district court's order denying relief on his motion under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) seeking relief from a judgment forfeiting certain property pursuant to 21 U.S.C.A. § 881(a)(6) (West 1981 & Supp. 1992). We find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in concluding that Chambers had failed to demonstrate a meritorious defense or lack of prejudice to the Government, prerequisites to relief under Rule 60(b). See Park Corp. v. Lexington Ins. Co., 812 F.2d 894, 896 (4th Cir. 1987). Accordingly, we affirm the decision of the district court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions have been adequately presented and oral argument would not significantly aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
