PER CURIAM.
Ronald J. Posluns appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to1
remand and dismissing his removed civil diversity action, and the subsequent
summary denial of his numerous post-judgment motions. Upon careful review, we
conclude that the district court properly dismissed the case and denied the remand
motion for the reasons it stated. We further conclude that Posluns’s post-judgment
motions were meritless, and that the district court did not err in denying them
summarily, see Associated Elec. Coop. v. Mid-America Transp. Co., 931 F.2d 1266,
1273 (8th Cir. 1991) (holding that district court did not err in summarily denying
post-judgment motion to alter or amend judgment). Accordingly, we affirm the
judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
