1 The Honorable Brian S. Miller, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

-2- (denial of leave to amend is reviewed for abuse of discretion; determination that amendment would be futile is reviewed de novo); United States v. Metro. St. Louis Sewer Dist., 440 F.3d 930, 933-35 (8th Cir. 2006) (denial of Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) and 60(b) motions is reviewed for abuse of discretion).
