PER CURIAM.
Arthur D’Amario appeals the district court’s1 order denying his Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 60(b) motion. D’Amario sought relief from the district court’s
underlying judgment, which he did not timely appeal, denying his third 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 petition as abusive, and denying his motion for sanctions against the
government attorney. In support of Rule 60(b) relief, D’Amario argued he had been
unable to obtain a transcript that he needed to support his petition until after judgment

was entered. However, we agree with the district court that the transcript would have
made no difference in the disposition of D’Amario’s claims and therefore was not
newly discovered evidence that warranted Rule 60(b) relief.
We therefore find no abuse of discretion in the denial of Rule 60(b) relief. See
Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 862 F.2d 161, 169 (8th Cir. 1988). Accordingly, we
affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny as moot D’Amario’s motion for summary
disposition.
