PER CURIAM.
Alvin A. Tolbert appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary
judgment in this tax action. After careful de novo review, see Johnson v. Blaukat, 453
F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006), we conclude that summary judgement was
appropriate for the reasons stated by the district court, see Gentry v. United States, 962
1
The Honorable Jimm Larry Hendren, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the Western District of Arkansas.
F.2d 555, 557-58 (6th Cir. 1992). We also conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in declining to amend the judgment. See Christensen v. Qwest
Pension Plan, 462 F.3d 913, 920 (8th Cir. 2006).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny the pending
motions for sanctions.
