Before MELLOY, McMILLIAN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       John Hetherington appeals from the order entered in the District Court1 for the
District of Minnesota denying his motion for reconsideration of the order denying his
Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33 motion for a new trial based on newly
discovered evidence, and his 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) sentence-reduction motion.
Because the notice of appeal is not timely as to the underlying order, this appeal
raises only the question whether the district court abused its discretion in denying the
motion for reconsideration. After careful consideration, we find there was no abuse

       The Honorable Ann D. Montgomery, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
of discretion. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
