with regard to any of the court’s rulings involving discovery, see Nolan v. Thompson,
521 F.3d 983, 986 (8th Cir. 2008), attorney fees, see Hayes v. Faulkner County, Ark.,
388 F.3d 669, 676 (8th Cir. 2004), or sanctions, see Chi. Truck Drivers, Helpers &
Warehouse Workers Union Pension Fund v. Bhd. Labor Leasing, 166 F.3d 1269, 1270
(8th Cir. 1999).
The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. Ferebee’s pending motions are
denied.
