PER CURIAM:
Esperanza Guerrero appeals the district court’s June
20, 2013 order denying multiple post-judgment motions and its
July 17, 2013 order denying her subsequent motion for
reconsideration. * On review of the record, we conclude that the
district court did not err in denying Guerrero’s untimely motion
for judgment as a matter of law, Fed. R. Civ. P. 50(b); see also
Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b) (“A court may not extend the time to act
under Rule 50(b) . . . .”). Further, the district court did not
abuse its discretion in denying relief pursuant to either Fed.
R. Civ. P. 59(e) or Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). See Robinson v. Wix
Filtration Corp., 599 F.3d 403, 407 (4th Cir. 2010) (standard of
review for Rule 59(e)); MLC Auto., 532 F.3d at 277 (standard of
review for Rule 60(b)). Accordingly, although we grant leave to
proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm the orders in question. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
*
Guerrero’s motion for reconsideration, filed within
twenty-eight days of the district court order denying multiple
post-judgment motions, tolls the time to appeal. Fed. R. App.
P. 4(a)(4)(A)(vi). Thus, Guerrero’s notice of appeal, filed
within thirty days of the denial of her motion for
reconsideration, was timely as to both the July 17, 2013 order
denying the motion for reconsideration and the June 20, 2013
order. Id.; MLC Auto., LLC v. Town of S. Pines, 532 F.3d 269,
278-79 (4th Cir. 2008).

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
