PER CURIAM.
Abdul Aziz appeals the district court’s1 denial of his motion under Fed. R. Civ.
P. 60(b)(1) for relief from an adverse grant of summary judgment. We review for
abuse of discretion, see Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 862 F.2d 161, 169 (8th Cir. 1988),
and finding none, we affirm.
1
The Honorable James Maxwell Moody, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
Because Aziz’s Rule 60(b)(1) motion alleged an error of law that could have
been raised on appeal from the underlying judgment, was not made within thirty days
of the underlying judgment, and only presented an issue previously rejected by the
district court, we conclude that the motion was properly denied. See Fox v. Brewer,
620 F.2d 177, 179-180 (8th Cir. 1980); Sanders, 862 F.2d at 169-170.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court.
A true copy.
Attest:
CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
