PER CURIAM:
Josephat Mua appeals the district court’s order denying his self-styled motion to
reopen his civil case against several defendants, as well as its order denying Mua’s
motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. Mua also seeks to
challenge the district court’s decision to return to Mua a motion for reconsideration filed
after the district court entered the above-referenced orders. Mua has filed with this court
motions to proceed in forma pauperis, to exceed the length limitations for his informal
brief, and to file amended and supplemental informal briefs. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant the pending motions and
affirm the district court’s orders. * See Mua v. The O’Neal Law Firm, LLP, No. 8:14-cv-
02334-PJM (D. Md. Aug. 1, 2017; filed Aug. 1, 2017 & entered Aug. 2, 2017). 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
*
We discern no reversible error in the district court’s refusal to entertain Mua’s
motion for reconsideration.
