Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
(6:99-CV-83)
_________________________________________________________________
February 10, 2003
Before BARKSDALE, DEMOSS, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Isaac Franklin, Texas prisoner #557634, appeals, pro se, from
the denial of his FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b) and subsequent 59(e) motions
seeking reimbursement of court costs and fees. Given the benefit
of liberal construction, Franklin errorously maintains he was
entitled to such reimbursement because he voluntarily dismissed his
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. See Hatchet v. Nettles, 201 F.3d 651, 654
(5th Cir. 2000); see also Williams v. Roberts, 116 F.3d 1126, 1128
(5th Cir. 1997). Franklin has not shown the district court abused
its discretion. See Eleby v. American Med. Sys., Inc., 795 F.2d
411, 413 (5th Cir. 1986).
To the extent Franklin is attempting to challenge the district
court’s September 1999 and December 2000 orders, he may not do so
in this appeal. Because these orders were not at issue in
Franklin’s Rule 60(b) motion, they are not at issue here. See
Aucoin v. K-Mart Fashion Corp., 943 F.2d 6, 8 (5th Cir. 1991).
AFFIRMED
