Bennett Wiseman, THATCHER LAW FIRM, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Josephat Mua appeals the district court’s order denying his self-styled motion to
reopen his civil case based on new evidence, and challenges the district court’s decision
to return to Mua a subsequently filed motion for reconsideration. Mua has also filed
motions to proceed in forma pauperis, to exceed the length limitations for his informal
opening brief, and for leave to file corrected and supplemental briefs. We have reviewed
the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant Mua’s motions and affirm
the district court’s order. * See Mua v. Bd. of Educ. of Prince George’s Cty., Md., No.
8:11-cv-01198-PJM (D. Md. Aug. 1, 2017); see also United States v. Riley, 856 F.3d 326,
328 (4th Cir.) (recognizing this court’s ability to “affirm on any grounds apparent from
the record” (internal quotation marks omitted)), cert. denied, 138 S. Ct. 273 (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.
