Before RICHARD S. ARNOLD, WOLLMAN, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Christopher Prosser appeals from the district court&s1 denial of his motion to
reconsider the court&s earlier order awarding costs to defendants, after summary
judgment had been entered against Prosser in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After
carefully reviewing the record, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying Prosser&s motion. See Wilson v. Runyon, 

, 989

       The Honorable Scott O. Wright, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
(8th Cir. 1992) (per curiam) (standard of review). Accordingly, the judgment is
affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
