    PER CURIAM:*

    civil suit brought in forma pauperis against Howard Schwartz, an

    Orleans office, and the Civil Rights Division of the FBI’s New
    Orleans Office.   He has also filed a motion for appointment of
    counsel.
    We must examine the basis of its jurisdiction on its own
    motion if necessary.   Mosley v. Cozby,

    *
    Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
    this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
    under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

    Cir. 1987).   A review of the documents filed on January 27, 2004,
    indicates that the primary relief requested by Sulaiman was
    reconsideration of the district court’s judgment under FED. R.
    CIV. P. 59(e).   See United States v. Gallardo, 
    915 F.2d 149
    , 150
    (5th Cir. 1990); see also 
    Mosley, 813 F.2d at 660
    .   Accordingly,
    we lack jurisdiction, and the appeal must be DISMISSED.
    Sulaiman’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
