UNPUBLISHED

Submitted: March 21, 2023

Appeals from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Terry L. Wooten, Senior District Judge. (3:15-cv-03186-TLW; 3:13-cv-02715-TLW)

Marie Therese Assa'ad-Faltas, Appellant Pro Se.

Before WYNN and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM.

In these consolidated cases, Marie Therese Assa'ad-Faltas appeals the district court's orders denying her motions to reopen the respective underlying district court actions. We have reviewed the records in the underlying actions and discern no error. We thus affirm the district court's orders. See Assa'ad-Faltas v. Weiss, No. 3:15-cv-03186-TLW (D.S.C. Aug. 2, 2022); Assa'ad-Faltas v. Columbia, S.C., No. 3:13-cv-02715-TLW (D.S.C. July 28, 2022). We deny all pending motions in these appeals. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
