PER CURIAM.

Kevin Vetter appeals from the district court&s1 grant of summary judgment to the United States and its dismissal with prejudice of his counterclaims and third-party cross-claims, as well as from its denial of his postjudgment motion to reconsider, in this action by the United States to recover unearned deficiency payments and interest from him. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties& submissions, we conclude the district court was correct and an extended discussion is unnecessary. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
