PER CURIAM
*
This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not
constitute binding precedent.

Anthony Stocker Mina appeals the District Court’s order dismissing his pro se
civil rights lawsuit and the District Court’s subsequent order dismissing his motions for
relief from judgment. We will affirm.
In 2014, Mina, a frequent pro se litigant, filed a second amended complaint
accusing some 44 defendants of various constitutional violations arising out of criminal
and civil matters that Mina has been involved with before the Chester County Court of
Common Pleas during the last twenty years. The defendants included judges,
prosecutors, police officers, probation officers, employees of the Chester County
Domestic Relations Section, public defenders, private attorneys, the Chester County
prothonotary, two newspapers, and a bank. The District Court dismissed the suit on
various grounds, including Eleventh Amendment immunity, judicial immunity, the
Rooker-Feldman1 doctrine, prosecutorial immunity, statute of limitations bars, and
Mina’s failure to allege sufficient facts to make claims under the applicable laws he cites.
Mina subsequently filed motions seeking relief from judgment, which the District Court
denied. Mina appeals.2

See Dist. of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462 (1983); Rooker v.
Fidelty Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413 (1923).
2
Mina seeks to appeal on behalf of himself, Heaven Scent Landscaping, and the TLC
Dreams Foundation. Heaven Scent Landscaping, which was not listed as a plaintiff in the
second amended complaint’s caption or introduction, is a non-party. Absent an exception
not applicable here, a non-party does not have standing to appeal. See Hoots v.
Pennsylvania, 495 F.2d 1095, 1096 n.3 (3d Cir. 1974). TLC Dreams Foundation is listed
in the caption of the complaint. To the extent it is a party, Mina has not demonstrated
that it is a party he can represent. Cf. Simbraw v. United States, 367 F.3d 373 (3d Cir.
3
We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We exercise plenary review
over the District Court’s dismissal order. See Allah v. Seiverling, 229 F.3d 220, 223 (3d
Cir. 2000). We generally review the District Court’s order denying motions for relief
from judgment for abuse of discretion, but to the extent that the order denied a motion
brought pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(4), our review is plenary.
Budget Blinds, Inc. v. White, 536 F.3d 244, 251 & n.5 (3d Cir. 2008).
The District Court did not err in dismissing Mina’s second amended complaint or
denying his motions for relief from judgment. The District Court concisely identified the
grounds for dismissing Mina’s amended complaint and denying his motions for relief
from judgment, and we will affirm for substantially the same reasons. Mina’s filings in
this Court, which contain both additional unsupported allegations and the restatement of
his earlier claims, do not provide any basis to challenge the District Court’s rulings.3 We
have also reviewed Mina’s letters filed on January 18, 2016, February 8, 2016, March 7,
2016, and June 29, 2016, and they do not alter our analysis.
1966). Therefore, this appeal is dismissed as to Heaven Scent Landscaping and the TLC
Dreams Foundation.
3
Among other arguments, Mina challenges the District Court’s dismissal on the grounds
that he should have been given leave to amend his complaint again. The District Court
did not err in declining to give Mina another chance to amend. He was given two
opportunities to amend, and, in any event, an additional amendment would have been
futile under the circumstances. See Grayson v. Mayview State Hosp., 293 F.3d 103, 108
(3d Cir. 2002).
4
Accordingly, we will affirm the District’s Court’s orders as they relate to Mina.
As we noted above, the appeal is dismissed as to Heaven Scent Landscaping and the TLC
Dreams Foundation.
