K. P. Singh [Phys. Rev. E 69, 056410 (2004)] put forward a scheme of vacuum laser acceleration in a static magnetic field. We point out that one of the assumptions used in their model does not stand on a solid physical ground and that it seriously influences electrons to obtain net energy gains from the laser field.
