Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       Joseph Noel Sykes appeals the district court’s1 order denying his Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 60(b)(6) motion. Having carefully reviewed the record and the
parties’ briefs, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion, as no
extraordinary circumstances exist which would warrant the relief Sykes requested. See
Chambers v. Armontrout, 16 F.3d 257, 261 (8th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, we affirm
the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      1
        The HONORABLE ANN D. MONTGOMERY, United States District Judge
for the District of Minnesota.
We deny appellees’ motion to dismiss this appeal.
