PER CURIAM:

            Marie    Therese    Assa’ad-Faltas,         M.D.,    M.P.H.,    appeals

the    district    court’s     order   adopting     the    magistrate        judge’s

recommendation to summarily dismiss her complaint, pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915 (2006), as well as its order denying her Fed.

R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion.          We have reviewed the record and find

no    reversible    error.      Accordingly,       we   deny     Assa’ad-Faltas’s

motions for appointment of counsel and to place the appeal in

abeyance and affirm the district court’s orders.                      See Assa’ad-

Faltas v. South Carolina Supreme Court, No. 3:09-cv-00507-TLW

(D.S.C. filed July 22, 2009, entered July 23, 2009; Aug. 24,

2009).     We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal    contentions    are    adequately    presented         in   the    materials

before   the   court   and     argument    would    not    aid      the   decisional

process.

                                                                            AFFIRMED

                                       3
