                               ____________

Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
        Nadezhda Wood appeals after the District Court1 dismissed her action because
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.
                     ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable David S. Doty, United States District Judge for the District of
Minnesota.
