Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
George Samir Wassouf appeals the denial of his motion to reopen the district court's order denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition and motion for reconsideration.
Wassouf s motion to reopen is construed as a motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). Wassouf has failed to show the district court abused its discretion in denying the motion or motion for reconsideration. See Bailey v. Cain, 609 F.3d 763, 767 (5th Cir.2010), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 931, 178 L.Ed.2d 774 (2011); see also Midland West Corp. v. FDIC, 911 F.2d 1141, 1145 (5th Cir.1990).
The orders of the district court are AFFIRMED. Wassoufs motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED. See Schwander v. Blackburn, 750 F.2d 494, 502-03 (5th Cir.1985).
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
