PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate Marquez A. Miller appeals following the district court’s1 denial of his Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) motion seeking relief from the court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action without prejudice for failing to exhaust administrative remedies, and the court’s additional denial of his Federal Rule

1 The Honorable William R. Wilson, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. of Civil Procedure 62(b) motion seeking to stay that judgment. Miller did not timely appeal the underlying judgment so we review only the district court’s ruling on the post-judgment motions. See Fed R. App. P. 4(a)(4); Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 862 F.2d 161, 168 (8th Cir. 1988). After a careful review of the record and the parties’ submissions, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to grant the motions. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 62(b) (in its discretion court may stay the execution of judgment); Baxter Int’l, Inc., v. Morris, 11 F.3d 90, 92 (8th Cir. 1993) (standard of review for denial of Rule 60(b) motion).

Accordingly, we affirm.
