Katherine Graddy appeals after the District Court1 dismissed her pro se complaint preservice under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) (requiring dismissal of a 1 The Honorable D.P. Marshall Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. -2- pro se complaint for failure to state a claim) and denied her post-judgment motion.

R. Civ. P. 42(a)(3) ( If actions before the court involve a common question of law or fact, the court may . . . issue any . . . orders to avoid unnecessary cost or delay. ); United States v. Metro. St. Louis Sewer Dist., 440 F.3d 930, 933, 935 (8th Cir. 2006) (reviewing rulings on post-judgment motions for an abuse of discretion); Moore v. Sims, 200 F.3d 1170, 1171 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (reviewing a § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) dismissal de novo). Accordingly, we affirm. ______________________________ -3-
