Fields, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland; Charlene Sukari Hardnett, LAW OFFICE OF C. SUKARI HARDNETT, Silver Spring, Maryland, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Josephat Mua appeals the district court’s order denying his self-styled motion to reopen his civil case against several defendants, as well as its order denying Mua’s motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. Mua also seeks to challenge the district court’s decision to return to Mua a motion for reconsideration filed after the district court entered the above-referenced orders. Mua has filed with this court motions to proceed in forma pauperis, to exceed the length limitations for his informal brief, and to file amended and supplemental informal briefs. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant the pending motions and affirm the district court’s orders. * See Mua v. The O’Neal Law Firm, LLP, No. 8:14-cv02334-PJM (D. Md. Aug. 1, 2017; filed Aug. 1, 2017 & entered Aug. 2, 2017). 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 * We discern no reversible error in the district court’s refusal to entertain Mua’s motion for reconsideration. 3
