we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion and
declining to reopen litigation in the case. See Penn v. Iowa State Bd. of Regents, 999
F.2d 305, 307 (8th Cir. 1993) (district courts have duty and power to manage their
dockets and this court will not intervene absent abuse of discretion). Accordingly,
we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
