PER CURIAM:
Abrasives-South, Inc., which brought this action against Defendants asserting
several state law claims, including claims of interference with contractual relations, fraud
and deceit, and unfair trade practices claims, appeals the district court’s orders granting
Defendants summary judgment and denying its Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district
court’s orders. See Abrasives-South Inc. v. Awuko Abrasives Wandmacher GMBH & Co
KG, No. 2:16-cv-00768-RMG (D.S.C. Aug. 17, 2016 & Oct. 4, 2016); see also Hooper v.
Ebenezer Sr. Servs. & Rehab. Ctr., 687 S.E.2d 29, 33 (S.C. 2009) (“Equitable tolling may
be applied where it is justified under all the circumstances . . . [but it] is a doctrine that
should be used sparingly and only when the interests of justice compel its use.”). 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
