Before WYNN and RUSHING, Circuit Judges, and MOTZ, Senior Circuit Judge.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Crystal VL Rivers appeals the district court's orders denying her motions for relief under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA), 18 U.S.C. § 3771; to file a third amended complaint; to certify as appealable the dismissal of certain claims under Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); and for relief from the court's final judgment under Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b). Having reviewed the record and the arguments Rivers advances on appeal, we discern no reversible error in the district court's decisions. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's orders. In addition, we grant the motion for Rivers to file untimely reply briefs, and we deny the motion to convert from unpublished to published a prior opinion of this court. 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
