Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Rock Hill. Margaret B. Seymour, Senior District Judge. (0:15-cv-04516-MBS) Submitted: April 4, 2019 Decided: April 8, 2019 Before NIEMEYER and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Daniel R. McClain, Appellant Pro Se. Andrew Lindemann, LINDEMANN, DAVIS & HUGHES, PA, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Daniel R. McClain appeals the district court’s text order denying his postjudgment pro se motion to alter or amend judgment and his “Motion Re-asserted for the S.C. State Legislature, et al., As Defendants; and Motion For Injunction Order Reasserted.” We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. McClain’s motions failed to establish any valid basis for relief from the underlying order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). Accordingly, we affirm. We deny McClain’s motions for injunctive relief pending appeal. 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
