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.
