Before BYE, SMITH, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.
        Donald Copley appeals after the district court1 dismissed his civil action, and
denied his post-judgment motion.2 We deny Copley’s pending motions for a
transcript and a change of venue; and following our careful review of the record
before us, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
the post-judgment motion, because Copley did not present circumstances justifying
relief. See In re Guidant Corp. Implantable Defibrillators Prod. Liab. Litig., 496 F.3d
863, 866 (8th Cir. 2007) (standard of review).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      1
       The Honorable Brian C. Wimes, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
      2
       The appeal was dismissed as untimely as to the entry of final judgment, and
has been allowed to proceed only as to the order denying post-judgment relief.
