    Hillmar I. BITTNER, Appellant, v. STATE OF MINNESOTA; Mike Hatch, Attorney General, Appellees.
    No. 04-1067.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted Aug. 24, 2004.
    Decided Aug. 27, 2004.
    Hillmar I. Bittner, Rochester, MN, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    David Earl Flowers, St. Paul, MN, for Defendants-Appellees.
    Before MELLOY, LAY, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Hillmar-Ivan Bittner appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to reconsider the dismissal of his complaint challenging the constitutionality of a Minnesota child-custody decree. Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion as Bittner’s motion did not allege any cognizable grounds for postjudgment relief or otherwise show exceptional circumstances warranting relief. See Sanders v. Clemco Indus., 862 F.2d 161, 169 (8th Cir.1988). Accordingly, we affirm. 
      
      . The Honorable Paul A. Magnuson, United States District Judge for the District of Minnesota.
