Inmate Antoine Echols, Sr., appeals the district court’s * dismissal of Echols’s action asserting 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state *699 law claims, and the denial of his motions for reconsideration. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude dismissal was proper because Echols’s claims were barred by the applicable statutes of limitations. See Mo.Rev.Stat. §§ 516.120(4), 516.130(2) (2000); Chandler v. Presiding Judge, Callaway County, 838 F.2d 977, 978-79 (8th Cir. 1988). We find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of the motions for reconsideration. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47A(a).
