1

The Honorable Jimm Larry Hendren, Chief Judge, United States District Court

for the Western District of Arkansas.

-2-

Yoram Raz challenges the adverse judgment entered by the district court1

 after

a bench trial on Raz’s claims based on the FBI’s alleged campaign of surveillance and

harassment of him. For reversal, Raz argues the district court abused its discretion in

limiting essential discovery, in limiting evidence, and in refusing to sanction the

opposing parties. Following careful review, we find no abuse of the district court’s

discretion with regard to these matters, and we affirm for the reasons cited in the

district court’s thorough memorandum opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
