2 PER CURIAM:

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

the district court’s order denying her Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)

motion asking that the district court reverse its denial of her

motion to intervene in the district court action. Assa’ad-

Faltas has also moved for in forma pauperis status. We have

reviewed the record and find that Assa’ad-Faltas’s motion failed

to establish any of the grounds necessary for Rule 60(b) relief.

Accordingly, although we grant Assa’ad-Faltas’s application for

in forma pauperis status, we affirm the district court’s order.

See Assa’ad-Faltas v. Haley, No. 2:11-cv-02958-RMG (D.S.C. June

27, 2012). 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
