PER CURIAM.
Denise and Jonathan Chapman appeal following the district court’s1 adverse
rulings in their suit against Ford Motor Company. The action, removed from state
court based on diversity jurisdiction, purported to seek relief pursuant to Arkansas
Rules of Civil Procedure 60(c) and (k) based on assertions that Ford Motor Company
presented fraudulent evidence in an earlier case. The district court granted Ford
Motor Company’s motion for summary judgment, and denied the Chapmans’
subsequent motions to alter or amend judgment, and for reconsideration. Following
careful review, we find no error or abuse of discretion. See Ark. R. Civ. P. 60(c),(k);
Stein v. Chase Home Fin., LLC, 662 F.3d 976, 979 (8th Cir. 2011) (de novo review
of grant of summary judgment); Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 862 F.2d 161, 168-69 (8th
Cir.1988) (standard of review for post-judgment rulings).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny the parties’ pending
motions.
