Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

                                 4
PER CURIAM:

       In these consolidated cases, Marie Therese Assa’ad-Faltas

appeals   the    district       court’s    orders   accepting     the   magistrate

judge’s recommendations to dismiss her claims after a 28 U.S.C.

§ 1915 (2012) review.            We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.            Accordingly, we deny Assa’ad-Faltas’ motions

for    appointment      of    counsel     and   affirm    the   district    court’s

judgments.        Assa’ad-Faltas          v.    Weiss,    No.   3:15-cv-01784-TLW

(D.S.C. filed July 23, 2015, entered July 24, 2015); Assa’ad-

Faltas v. Weiss, No. 3:15-cv-03186-TLW (D.S.C. Sept. 16, 2015).

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

                                           5
