The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit affirmed a district court order dismissing a civil action. The appellate court found no reversible error in the lower court's denial of motions to alter or vacate the dismissal.
The appellant, proceeding pro se, appealed a district court order that dismissed his civil action and denied his motions to amend the complaint and for equitable tolling. The district court had also denied his motion under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure fifty-nine and sixty to alter or vacate the dismissal.
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 dismissal of the civil action remains in effect, and the appellant’s attempts to alter or vacate the order were unsuccessful.
