                         Plaintiff-Appellant,

                   v.                                                    No. 13-3491-cv

UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY,

FOR APPELLANT:                           Sandhya Chalasani, pro se, Jamaica, New York.

FOR APPELLEE:                            Sean H. Close, Putney Twombly Hall & Hirson LLP,
                                         New York, New York.


         Appeal from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District

of New York (Richard J. Sullivan, Judge).
       UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED,

AND DECREED that the order of the district court is AFFIRMED.

       Sandhya Chalasani, pro se, appeals from the district court’s August 13, 2013 order

denying her motion to reconsider its May 22, 2012 dismissal without prejudice of her

employment discrimination complaint against United Cerebral Palsy. We review the

denial of a reconsideration motion for an abuse of discretion. See Lora v. O’Heaney, 602

F.3d 106, 111 (2d Cir. 2010). The district court did not abuse its discretion because

Chalasani failed to point to any controlling decisions or data that the court overlooked, or

anything else that might reasonably be expected to alter the court’s conclusion that her

complaint was properly dismissed without prejudice1 pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) and

41(b). See id.

       We have considered Chalasani’s remaining arguments and find them to be without

merit. Accordingly, we AFFIRM the order of the district court.

                                          FOR THE COURT:
                                          Catherine O’Hagan Wolfe, Clerk of Court




1
 As the district court explained, because the dismissal was “without prejudice,”
Chalasani can re-file any claims that were not time-barred.
