PER CURIAM.

Joeffre Kolosky appeals the district court’s1

 dismissal of his civil action. Upon

this court’s de novo review, we conclude dismissal was proper for the reasons given

by the district court. See Banks v. Int’l Union Elec. Workers, 390 F.3d 1049, 1052

(8th Cir. 2004) (de novo review of dismissal for res judicata); Thomas v. FAG

-2-

Bearings Corp., 50 F.3d 502, 504 (8th Cir. 1995) (same; dismissal for Eleventh

Amendment immunity). We also conclude that the imposition of filing restrictions

on Kolosky was warranted, see In re Tyler, 839 F.2d 1290, 1290-95 (8th Cir. 1988)

(per curiam), and that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying

Kolosky’s motion to reconsider, see Arnold v. Wood, 238 F.3d 992, 998 (8th Cir.

2001); Innovative Home Health Care, Inc. v. P.T.-O.T. Assocs. of the Black Hills, 141

F.3d 1284, 1286 (8th Cir. 1998).

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