PER CURIAM:

Melvin Durant appeals the district court’s order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(a)

motion in which Durant argued that the district court had overlooked his previously filed

Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion in his

42 U.S.C. § 1983

action. Our review of the record

confirms that Durant filed a Rule 59(e) motion on January 26, 2022, which the district court

has not yet considered. Durant v. Phillips, No. 9:21-cv-00240-RMG (D.S.C., PACER No.

45). Accordingly, we vacate the district court’s order and remand so that the district court

may consider Durant’s pending Rule 59(e) motion. 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.

VACATED AND REMANDED
