The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed the district court's denial of a motion for reconsideration regarding a request to file a second amended complaint. The court found no reversible error in the lower court's handling of the postjudgment motion.
Darrion Clay, proceeding pro se, appealed the district court’s order denying his motion for reconsideration of a prior order that had denied his postjudgment motion for leave to file a second amended complaint.
The court’s reasoning
The court reviewed the record and found no reversible error in the district court’s order. The court dispensed with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions were adequately presented in the materials before the court.
What it means going forward
The district court’s refusal to allow a second amended complaint stands, and the case remains closed based on the original pleadings.
