PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 14-2996 Page: 1 Date Filed: 01/12/2016 Entry ID: 4354998 
Nadezhda Wood appeals after the District Court dismissed her action because 1

it lacked personal jurisdiction over the defendants and then denied her motion to alter

or amend the judgment. After careful de novo review, we conclude that dismissal

was proper. See Walden v. Fiore, 134 S. Ct. 1115, 1121–23 (2014) (discussing

personal jurisdiction). Additionally, we conclude that the District Court did not abuse

its discretion in denying Wood’s motion to alter or amend the judgment. See United

States v. Metro. St. Louis Sewer Dist., 440 F.3d 930, 933 (8th Cir. 2006) (reviewing

the denial of a Rule 59(e) motion for abuse of discretion and noting that such a

motion cannot be used to introduce new evidence which could have been offered

prior to the entry of judgment).

Accordingly, we affirm.
