                                  ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

       *
         This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of
law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. This court generally disfavors the
citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under
the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.
Before SEYMOUR, Chief Judge, KELLY, and LUCERO, Circuit Judges.**

       Mr. Weaver was a tenant in a federally subsidized rental program and now appeals

from the district court’s dismissal of his action arising from a $558 damage assessment

against him. Although the district court considered matters outside the pleadings in ruling

on the motions to dismiss, it also gave Mr. Weaver an opportunity to seek reconsideration

with evidentiary materials. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). Although he filed an untimely

motion for “redetermination,” Mr. Weaver did not come forward with either evidentiary

materials that create a genuine issue of material fact or legal argument responsive to the

district court’s resolution.

       AFFIRMED. We GRANT Mr. Weaver’s motion to proceed without prepayment

of costs or fees. All other pending motions and objections are denied. The mandate shall

issue forthwith.

                                          Entered for the Court

                                          Paul J. Kelly, Jr.
                                          Circuit Judge

       **
         After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this three-judge panel has
determined unanimously that oral argument would not be of material assistance in the
determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is
therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
