In these consolidated cases, Marie Therese Assa'ad-Faltas appeals the district court's orders denying as untimely her Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motions to reopen the respective underlying district court actions, as well as the court's orders denying her subsequently filed Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motions and motions to reassign. We have reviewed the records in the underlying federal actions and discern no error. We thus affirm the district court's various orders for the reasons stated by the district court. See Assa'ad-Faltas v. Univ. of S. C., No. 3:94-cv-01578-TLW (D.S.C. April 14, 2019 & May 17, 2019); Assa'ad-Faltas v. U. S. Immigration & Naturalization Serv., No. 3:93-cv-03303-TLW (D.S.C. April 14, 2019 & May 17, 2019); and Assa'ad-Faltas v. Attorney Gen. of Va., No. 3:95-cv-01521-TLW (D.S.C. April 14, 2019 & May 17, 2019). We deny all pending motions in these appeals. 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.
