Dennis Maggese v. John Stoia

525 F. App'x 523

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Dennis Maggese appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grants of summary judgment, as well as the denials of his motions for counsel and for reconsideration. After de novo review, see Payne v. Grinnell Mut. Reinsurance Co., 716 F.3d 487, 490 (8th Cir.2013), we conclude that summary judgment was proper for the reasons stat ed by the district court. We also conclude that there was no abuse of discretion in denying Maggese’s motions for counsel, see Plummer v. Grimes, 87 F.3d 1032, 1033 (8th Cir.1996) (standard of review), or in denying his motion for reconsideration, see Christensen v. Qwest Pension Plan, 462 F.3d 913, 920 (8th Cir.2006) (standard of review for Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) motion); Arnold v. Wood, 238 F.3d 992, 998 (8th Cir.2001) (standard of review for Fed. R.Civ.P. 60(b) motion).

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

1 . The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa.
