Before HANSEN, FAGG, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Kevin Lamson appeals from an adverse default judgment. Having carefully
reviewed the record and the parties' submissions, we reject Lamson's arguments. The
district court* did not abuse its discretion by not holding a second evidentiary hearing
on disputed factual issues regarding service of process, Lamson having failed to show
he requested an additional hearing or otherwise explain why he did not timely avail
himself of the opportunity to be heard. See Federal Deposit Ins. Corp. v. Daily, 

, 1532 (10th Cir. 1992). Further, the district court did not commit plain
error by relying on the plaintiffs' affidavits, to which Lamson did not timely object.
As relevant, the affidavits were grounded in personal knowledge and sufficient to
support the district court's finding the summons was served. See Ruby v. Springfield
R-12 Pub. Sch. Dist., 

, 912 n.8 (8th Cir. 1996); LSJ Inv. Co. v. O.L.D.,
Inc., 

, 322 (6th Cir. 1999). We thus conclude the grant of default
judgment was not an abuse of discretion, see Ackra Direct Mktg. Corp. v. Fingerhut
Corp., 

, 856 (8th Cir. 1996), and we affirm the district court. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.

District of Minnesota.
