suggesting that Durham’s notice of appeal was untimely. Having jurisdiction under
28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
Durham’s notice of appeal was timely filed. Judgment was not entered in a
separate document, and thus the time to appeal did not begin to run until judgment
was deemed entered 150 days after the dismissal order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 58(a);
Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(7)(A)(ii).
Upon careful consideration of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal,
this court concludes that the district court properly granted judgment on the
pleadings. See Mt. Hawley Ins. Co. v. City of Richmond Heights, 92 F.4th 763, 766
(8th Cir. 2024). Further, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
reconsideration of its order dismissing the case. See Meier v. City of St. Louis, 78
F.4th 1052, 1059-60 (8th Cir. 2023).
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
