14
15          Appeal from the May 22, 2008 post-judgment order of the United States District

16   Court for the Northern District of New York (Hurd, J.).

17          UPON DUE CONSIDERATION IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED,

18   AND DECREED that the order of the district court be AFFIRMED.

19          Appellant Yusuf J. Nuraldin, pro se, appeals from the district court’s May 22, 2008

20   post-judgment order denying his motion “to amend or make additional findings” and “for

21   reconsideration of judgment and modification or clarification of” the district court’s

22   February 15, 2008 order dismissing his civil rights complaint. We assume the parties’

23   familiarity with the underlying facts, procedural history of the case, and issues on appeal.

24   Upon due consideration of the district court record and the parties’ submissions, we find no

25   abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision. See Sequa Corp. v. GBJ Corp., 156 F.3d

26   136, 143 (2d Cir. 1998); Transaero, Inc. v. La Fuerza Aerea Boliviana, 162 F.3d 724, 729

27   (2d Cir. 1998).

28           For the foregoing reasons, the order of the district court is hereby AFFIRMED.
