2 PER CURIAM:
Andrew Chien appeals an order of the district court ruling on two postjudgment
motions. First, the district court denied Chien’s Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion to
reconsider its judgment dismissing his
42 U.S.C. § 1983(2012) complaint. We review
this order for an abuse of discretion, Aikens v. Ingram,
652 F.3d 496, 501(4th Cir. 2011)
(en banc), and we perceive no such abuse in the district court’s ruling. Chien also seeks
to challenge the court’s denial of an extension of time to file an appeal. As Chien has
filed a timely appeal, this portion of the appeal is moot. Accordingly, we affirm the
district court’s judgment and deny Chien’s motion to disqualify the district court judge.
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
