Before BEAM, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      Michael Brown appeals following the district court’s1 dismissal of his “Petition
for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief” and its subsequent refusal to reconsider the
dismissal order. After carefully reviewing the record and the parties’ briefs, we


      1
        The Honorable Ortrie D. Smith, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
                                         -1-
conclude the court neither erred in dismissing Brown’s petition, nor abused its
discretion in denying his motion for reconsideration.

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Brown’s motion on
appeal because he seeks to introduce material that was not before the district court.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
