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

PER CURIAM.

      Federal inmate Norvell Daniels appeals the district court's1 denial of his Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) motion and his motions for recusal and reassignment of
judge. We conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying the Rule
60(b) motion because the relief Daniels requested was raised in a prior appeal and thus
did not present any new grounds for relief. See Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 

        The Honorable E. Richard Webber, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
161, 169-70 (8th Cir. 1988). We further conclude the district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying the motions for recusal and reassignment.

     Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R.
47A(a).
