PER CURIAM:
Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas, M.D., M.P.H., appeals
the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s
recommendation to summarily dismiss her complaint, pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915 (2006), as well as its order denying her Fed.
R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have reviewed the record and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Assa’ad-Faltas’s
motions for appointment of counsel and to place the appeal in
abeyance and affirm the district court’s orders. See Assa’ad-
Faltas v. South Carolina Supreme Court, No. 3:09-cv-00507-TLW
(D.S.C. filed July 22, 2009, entered July 23, 2009; Aug. 24,
2009). 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
