PER CURIAM:
Lisa Marie Kerr appeals the district court’s order adopting the magistrate judge’s
recommendation and dismissing her July 2016 complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
12(b)(6). Kerr also appeals the district court’s order denying her motion to reopen the
judgment in her 2014 action, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b), and for leave to amend
her 2014 complaint, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2). We have reviewed the records
and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district
court.

Kerr v. Marshall Univ. Bd. of Governors, No. 2:16-cv-06589 (S.D.W. Va.

Sept. 21, 2017); Kerr v. Marshall Univ. Bd. of Governors, No. 2:14-cv-12333 (S.D.W.
Va. Feb. 16, 2018). We deny Defendants’ motion to deem frivolous Kerr’s appeal in No.
17-2243 and deny Kerr’s motion for sanctions. 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
