Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                        ____________

PER CURIAM.

     Katherine Graddy appeals after the District Court1 dismissed her pro se
complaint preservice under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) (requiring dismissal of a

      1
        The Honorable D.P. Marshall Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.

                                          -2-
pro se complaint for failure to state a claim) and denied her post-judgment motion.
Upon careful review, we find no basis for reversal. See Potthoff v. Morin, 245 F.3d
710, 716 (8th Cir. 2001) (explaining that a claim for injury to a corporation cannot be
brought by a shareholder in his own name even if the injury results in devaluation of
the corporation’s stock); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a)(3) (“If actions before the court
involve a common question of law or fact, the court may . . . issue any . . . orders to
avoid unnecessary cost or delay.”); United States v. Metro. St. Louis Sewer Dist., 440
F.3d 930, 933, 935 (8th Cir. 2006) (reviewing rulings on post-judgment motions for
an abuse of discretion); Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per
curiam) (reviewing a § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) dismissal de novo).

      Accordingly, we affirm.
