John Williams v. Max Mobley

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate John Henry Williams appeals the district court’s 1 adverse grant of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We agree with the district court that summary judgment was warranted, see Roe v. Crawford, 514 F.3d 789, 798 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review); and that Williams provided no basis under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 59(e) or *574 60(b) for reconsidering the grant of summary judgment, see Christensen v. Qwest Pension Plan, 462 F.3d 913, 919-20 (8th Cir. 2006) (Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) standard of review); Arnold v. Wood, 238 F.3d 992, 998 (8th Cir. 2001) (Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) standard of review). We decline to consider Williams’s new evidence and allegations. See Minn. Supply Co. v. Raymond Corp., 472 F.3d 524, 532 (8th Cir. 2006) (this court considers only evidence before district court when summary judgment ruling was made); Stone v. Harry, 364 F.3d 912, 914-15 (8th Cir. 2004) (declining to address pro se arguments first raised on appeal). Accordingly, we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and we deny Williams’s pending motions.
