Saeed SULAIMAN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Howard SCHWARTZ; Federal Bureau of Investigation, New Orleans Office Civil Rights Division, Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 04-30081.
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Decided Sept. 2, 2004.
    Saeed Sulaiman, New Orleans, LA, pro se.
    Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Saeed Sulaiman appeals the district court’s dismissal of his civil suit brought in forma pauperis against Howard Schwartz, an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (“FBI”) New 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, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th 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. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir R. 47.5.4.
