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

PER CURIAM.

       Vara Birapaka appeals following the district court’s1 dismissal of his claims
against all defendants. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’
arguments on appeal, we find no error in the district court’s dismissal, see Montin v.
Moore, 

, 292 (8th Cir. 2017) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b) dismissal is reviewed
de novo), or in its denial of his motion for reconsideration, see Preston v. City of
Pleasant Hill, 

, 652 (8th Cir. 2011) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 59 motion is
reviewed for abuse of discretion); Nelson v. Am. Home Assurance Co., 

, 1043 (8th Cir. 2012) (Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion is reviewed for abuse of
discretion).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________


      1
      The Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, United States District Judge for the District
of Minnesota.
