PER CURIAM:
C. Holmes appeals the district court’s orders (1) denying her motion to restore or
reopen a civil action that she had voluntarily dismissed and to stay proceedings pending
resolution of an earlier appeal, and (2) denying her motions for reconsideration of the denial
of her motion to restore or reopen her case and for leave to amend her complaint. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error.* Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s orders. Holmes v. Blue Cross Blue Shield of S.C., Inc., No. 2:20-cv-00004-BHH-
MHC (D.S.C. Aug. 24, 2022; Dec. 13, 2022). We grant Holmes’ motion to file an
oversized informal brief. 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
* Holmes’ reliance on South Carolina procedural rules is misplaced. See
McFarland v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 810 F.3d 273, 284 (4th Cir. 2016) (“Federal courts
apply federal rules of procedure.”).
