Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Stephen Carlson appeals after the District Court dismissed his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 amended complaint, and denied post-judgment relief. Having carefully reviewed the record de novo and considered Carlson's arguments for reversal, we conclude that the District Court properly dismissed the complaint for the reasons explained in the Court's thorough order. We conclude as well that the District Court did not abuse its discretion either in denying preliminary injunctive relief, or in denying post-judgment relief. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
. The Honorable Michael J. Davis, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.
