Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Delva Newhouse appeals the district court’s orders granting summary judgment to the defendants on her products liability complaint and denying her motion for relief from judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Newhouse v. Ethicon, Inc., No. 2:17-cv-02735 (S.D.W. Va. Feb. 7, 2020 & Feb. 24, 2020). We also deny Newhouse’s pending motions. 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 3
