Before WOLLMAN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and MELLOY, Circuit
      Judges.
                        ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Missouri inmate Rodney McKown appeals the district court’s1 denial of
postjudgment motions in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit. Having carefully reviewed
the record, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the
motions. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.



      1
      The Honorable Dean Whipple, Chief Judge, United States District Court for
the Western District of Missouri.
