L. Dowd, Jr.; Stephen L. Hill, Jr.; * J. Robert Switzer, * [UNPUBLISHED] * Appellees. * ___________ Submitted: July 18, 2000 Filed: July 24, 2000 ___________ Before BEAM, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

Michael Brown appeals following the district court’s1 dismissal of his “Petition for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief” and its subsequent refusal to reconsider the dismissal order. After carefully reviewing the record and the parties’ briefs, we

The Honorable Ortrie D. Smith, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. -1- conclude the court neither erred in dismissing Brown’s petition, nor abused its discretion in denying his motion for reconsideration.

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Brown’s motion on appeal because he seeks to introduce material that was not before the district court.
