PER CURIAM:
Kathy Reaves appeals the district court’s order denying her Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)
motion.* We have reviewed the record and discern no abuse of discretion in the denial of
this motion. See Aikens, 652 F.3d at 501 (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order. Reaves v. S.C. Dep’t of Pub. Safety, No. 3:22-cv-01323-
TLW (D.S.C. Oct. 10, 2023). 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 Reaves seeks to appeal the district court’s order accepting the
magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing her complaint, that order is not
properly before us in this appeal. See Aikens v. Ingram, 652 F.3d 496, 501 (4th Cir. 2011)
(en banc) (“[A]n appeal from denial of Rule 60(b) relief does not bring up the underlying
judgment for review.” (internal quotation marks omitted)).
