Marie Assa'ad-Faltas v. Nikki Haley

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 12-1853 MARIE THERESE ASSA'AD-FALTAS, Party-in-Interest - Appellant, and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. NIKKI HALEY, in her official capacity as the Governor of South Carolina; STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Defendants - Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Charleston. Richard Mark Gergel, District Judge. (2:11-cv-02958-RMG) Submitted: November 20, 2012 Decided: November 26, 2012 Before TRAXLER, Chief Judge, and SHEDD and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas, Appellant Pro Se. Robert D. Cook, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF SOUTH CAROLINA, James Emory Smith, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellees. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas, M.D., M.P.H., appeals the district court’s order denying her Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion asking that the district court reverse its denial of her motion to intervene in the district court action. Assa’ad- Faltas has also moved for in forma pauperis status. We have reviewed the record and find that Assa’ad-Faltas’s motion failed to establish any of the grounds necessary for Rule 60(b) relief. Accordingly, although we grant Assa’ad-Faltas’s application for in forma pauperis status, we affirm the district court’s order. See Assa’ad-Faltas v. Haley, No. 2:11-cv-02958-RMG (D.S.C. June 27, 2012). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 3
