United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 15-2100 ___________________________ James Melvin Lewis lllllllllllllllllllll Plaintiff - Appellant v. Navient Solutions, Inc., formerly known as Sallie Mae, Inc. lllllllllllllllllllll Defendant - Appellee ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City ____________ Submitted: October 7, 2015 Filed: October 14, 2015 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, BOWMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ____________ PER CURIAM. James Lewis brought this pro se action against Navient Solutions, Inc., asserting violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, among other claims. He appeals from the orders of the District Court1 granting summary judgment in favor of Navient and denying his post-judgment motion under Rule 59(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We have carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, and we conclude that summary judgment was properly granted. See Anderson v. EMC Mortg. Corp., 631 F.3d 905, 906 (8th Cir. 2011) (reviewing the grant of summary judgment de novo). We further conclude that the denial of post-judgment relief was not an abuse of discretion. See Innovative Home Health Care, Inc. v. P.T.-O.T. Assocs. of the Black Hills, 141 F.3d 1284, 1286 (8th Cir. 1998) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable Brian C. Wimes, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri. -2-
