Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 10 F.3d 806 (4th Cir. 1993) Submitted: October 25, 1993. Decided: November 5, 1993

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore.

Elaine Doris Dowell, Appellant Pro Se.

D. Md.

AFFIRMED.

Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and PHILLIPS and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


OPINION

Appellant appeals from the district court's orders that dismissed her civil complaint because it found no federal jurisdiction and denied her motion for reconsideration of that order.*  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Dowell v. Wright, No. CA-93-2322-S (D. Md. Aug. 20, 1993). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

 *

Because Dowell served her motion within ten days of the court's final order, it is a motion for amendment of judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e), the denial of which we review for abuse of discretion. Bryan v. United States, 884 F.2d 767, 771 (4th Cir. 1989). We find no abuse of discretion in this case
