David M. Pelton appeals from the district court&s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in favor of the Kansas City Board of Police Commissioners in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit, as well as the court&s denial of his several motions regarding discovery, supplementing his response to the Board’s summary judgment motion, and seeking relief from judgment. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties& briefs, we conclude that the district court&s judgment was correct, that the court did not abuse its discretion in denying Pelton&s motions, and that an extended discussion is not warranted. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. 1 The Honorable Fernando J. Gaitan, Jr., United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. -2-
