In these consolidated appeals, Marie Therese Assa'ad-Faltas seeks to appeal the district court's orders denying her motions for intervention and, in Appeal No. 20-6805, the district court's order denying her Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's orders. See Assa'ad-Faltas v. McMaster, No. 5:20-cv-01533-DCC-KDW (D.S.C. May 6, 2020; May 26, 2020); Assa'ad-Faltas v. Lexington Cnty., S.C., No. 3:17-cv-01426-MBS, 2020 WL 2553309 (D.S.C. May 20, 2020). We deny Assa'ad-Faltas’ motions for appointment of counsel. 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.
