PER CURIAM:
Melvin Durant appeals the district court’s order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(a)
motion in which Durant argued that the district court had overlooked his previously filed
Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Our review of the record
confirms that Durant filed a Rule 59(e) motion on January 26, 2022, which the district court
has not yet considered. Durant v. Phillips, No. 9:21-cv-00240-RMG (D.S.C., PACER No.
45). Accordingly, we vacate the district court’s order and remand so that the district court
may consider Durant’s pending Rule 59(e) motion. 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.
VACATED AND REMANDED
