Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Kevin Vetter appeals from the district court&s1 grant of summary judgment to the
United States and its dismissal with prejudice of his counterclaims and third-party
cross-claims, as well as from its denial of his postjudgment motion to reconsider, in this
action by the United States to recover unearned deficiency payments and interest from
him. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties& submissions, we conclude
the district court was correct and an extended discussion is unnecessary. Accordingly,
we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

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

       The Honorable Patrick A. Conmy, United States District Judge for the District
of North Dakota.
