R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion for reconsideration. * We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. Guess v. Coble, No. 3:24-cv-00068- MGL (D.S.C. Aug. 22, 2024; Dec. 12, 2024). 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 * The district court’s dismissal without prejudice is a final order because the court dismissed the complaint “without granting leave to amend.” Britt v.
