Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.
        David M. Pelton appeals from the district court&s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in favor of the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners in his 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 suit, as well as the court&s denial of his several motions regarding discovery,
supplementing his response to the Board’s summary judgment motion, and seeking
relief from judgment. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties& briefs, we
conclude that the district court&s judgment was correct, that the court did not abuse its
discretion in denying Pelton&s motions, and that an extended discussion is not
warranted. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.

      The Honorable Fernando J. Gaitan, Jr., United States District Judge for the
