Before COLLOTON, SHEPHERD, and KOBES, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.

      Harley Meyer appeals the following district court’s1 dismissal of his claims
against numerous defendants, and grant of summary judgment against the remaining


      1
       The Honorable Susan Richard Nelson, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable
Hildy Bowbeer, United States Magistrate Judge for the District of Minnesota.

                                           -2-
defendants. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on
appeal, we agree with the district court’s well-reasoned decisions. See Montin v.
Moore, 
846 F.3d 289
, 292 (8th Cir. 2017) (de novo review of Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)
dismissal); Johnson v. Blaukat, 
453 F.3d 1108
, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (de novo review
of summary judgment order). We also find no abuse of discretion in the district
court’s denial of Meyer’s motions for joinder, for counsel, for leave to amend his
complaint, to exclude evidence, and for relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
60. See Int’l Bhd. of Teamsters v. Commercial Warehouse Co., 
84 F.3d 299
, 302 (8th
Cir. 1996) (joinder); Williams v. Little Rock Mun. Water Works, 
21 F.3d 218
, 224
(8th Cir. 1994) (leave to amend complaint); Phillips v. Jasper Cty. Jail, 
437 F.3d 791
,
794 (8th Cir. 2006) (appointment of counsel in civil cases); Vasquez v. Colores, 
648 F.3d 648
, 652 (8th Cir. 2011) (evidentiary rulings); Jones v. Swanson, 
512 F.3d 1045
,
1048 (8th Cir. 2008) (Rule 60(b) motion).

     Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny
Meyer’s appellate motions.
