PER CURIAM.
Dawn Edlund appeals from the district court’s 1 denial of her Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure 52(b) and 60(b) motions in which she requested that the district court
amend its judgment to include an award of attorney’s fees and costs. After careful

review of the record, including Edlund’s prior unsuccessful appeal, we conclude that
the instant appeal is governed by the law-of-the-case doctrine. See Jones v. United
States, 255 F.3d 507, 510 (8th Cir. 2001) (all issues decided by appellate court
become law of the case; this rule extends not only to actual holdings but also to all
issues implicitly settled in prior holdings); Edlund v. Ridgedale Auto., Inc., No. 01-
3965, 2002 WL 31455108, at *1 (8th Cir. Nov. 5, 2002) (unpublished per curiam),
cert. denied, 537 U.S. 1194 (2003).
Accordingly, we affirm.
