Before WOLLMAN, FAGG, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Russell Ralph appeals the district court’s1 orders denying his Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 60(b)(4) motions. Ralph argued that his 1994 criminal judgment was
void and that the district court could not issue its ruling by writing on the face of his
pleadings. Having reviewed the record, we find no abuse of discretion by the district
court. See Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 862 F.2d 161, 169 (8th Cir. 1988) (standard of
review). The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable Jean C. Hamilton, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Missouri.
