(3:18-cv-00578-MGL) Submitted: December 15, 2022 Decided: December 19, 2022 Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and WILKINSON and DIAZ, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas, Appellant Pro Se. Robert David Garfield, CROWE LAFAVE GARFIELD & BAGLEY, LLC, Columbia, South Carolina; Andrew Lindemann, LINDEMANN & DAVIS, P.A., Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas appeals the district court’s judgment entered in Defendants’ favor in Assa’ad-Faltas’ action raising 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state law claims, and the court’s orders denying Assa’ad-Faltas’ postjudgment motions. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s judgment and orders. See Assa’ad-Faltas v. Richland Cnty. Sheriff’s Dep’t, No. 3:18-cv00578-MGL (D.S.C. Mar. 29, 2021; Jan. 13, 2022). We deny all 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 2
