Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 22-1884 Doc: 20 Filed: 12/15/2023 Pg: 2 of 2 PER CURIAM: Faresha Sims appeals the district court’s orders granting Defendants summary judgment and denying Sims’ Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion for reconsideration. ∗ We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we grant Sims’ motions to amend her informal brief and exceed the length limitations and affirm. Sims v. Univ. of Md. Med. Sys. Corp., No. 1:19-cv-00295-CCB (D. Md. June 23, 2022). 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 ∗ To the extent Sims seeks to challenge the postjudgment orders denying her recusal motion, she did not note an appeal of those orders, nor did she file an informal brief within the applicable appeal period that we can construe as a notice of appeal. Accordingly, those orders are not before us. 2
