U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 113 F.3d 1238 (8th Cir. 1997) May 20, 1997

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Mary V. Meckel appeals from the final order entered in the District Court1  for the Eastern District of Arkansas denying her Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) (2) motion for relief from judgment. The district court found that Meckel's proffered expert testimony did not constitute newly discovered evidence which could not have been timely discovered by due diligence. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion. See Mitchell v. Shalala, 48 F.3d 1039, 1041 (8th Cir. 1995) (standard of review; movant must show due diligence, among other things). Accordingly, we affirm.
