Heading: Clarkson's motion for stay or relief from judgment.

Text: 18 Finally, Clarkson appeals the district court's denial of his motion for stay or relief from judgment. Clarkson alleges that he did not have an adequate opportunity to conduct discovery in support of his claims, 8 and that he is entitled to relief from judgment, presumably under Rule 60(b). We review a district court's denial of a motion for relief from judgment only for an abuse of discretion. Lee v. Village of River Forest, 936 F.2d 976, 979 (7th Cir.1991). Furthermore, relief from judgment is appropriate only upon a showing of extraordinary circumstances that create a substantial danger that the underlying judgment was unjust. Del Carmen v. Emerson Elec. Co., 908 F.2d 158, 161 (7th Cir.1990) (internal quotations and citations omitted). Clarkson has made no such showing. Moreover, in light of the preceding discussion, there is little, if any, danger that the district court's judgment was unjust. Its denial of Clarkson's motion was therefore proper.
