Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 21-2408 Doc: 38 Filed: 05/09/2023 Pg: 3 of 44 PER CURIAM:

Crystal VL Rivers appeals the district court’s orders denying her motions for relief

under the Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA), 18 U.S.C. § 3771; to file a third amended

complaint; to certify as appealable the dismi ssal of certain claims under Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); and for relief from the court’s final judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). Having

reviewed the record and the arguments Rivers advances on appeal, we discern no reversible

error in the district court’s decisions. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders.

In addition, we grant the motion for Rivers to file untimely reply briefs, and we deny the

motion to convert from unpublished to published a prior opinion of this court. We dispense

with ora l argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the

materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
