PER CURIAM.


     Dara Gen Neal appeals from the district court's1 order dismissing her
42 U.S.C. § 1983 action and pendent state law claims, which arose out of
an alleged dog-bite incident; she also appeals from the court's subsequent
order refusing to grant her relief from the judgment.   Having reviewed the
record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that the district court
correctly

      The Honorable Ortrie D. Smith, United States District Judge
for the Western District of Missouri.
denied   relief,   and   that   an   extended   discussion   is   not   warranted.
Accordingly, we affirm.     See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
