Denise Chapman v. Ford Motor Company

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Denise Chapman v. Ford Motor Company, 489 F. App'x 999 (8th Cir. 2012)
Murphy, Arnold, Smith

Denise Chapman v. Ford Motor Company

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Denise and Jonathan Chapman appeal following the district court’s 1 adverse rulings in their suit against Ford Motor Company. The action, removed from state court based on diversity jurisdiction, purported to seek relief pursuant to Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure 60(c) and (k) based on assertions that Ford Motor Company presented fraudulent evidence in an earlier case. The district court granted Ford Motor Company’s motion for summary judgment, and denied the Chapmans’ subsequent motions to alter or amend judgment, and for reconsideration. Following careful review, we find no error or abuse of discretion. See Ark. R. Civ. P. 60(c),(k); Stein v. Chase Home Fin., LLC, 662 F.3d 976, 979 (8th Cir. 2011) (de novo review of grant of summary judgment); Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 862 F.2d 161, 168-69 (8th Cir. 1988) (standard of review for post-judgment rulings).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny the parties’ pending motions.
