PER CURIAM:
Advertisement
Herbert Lynch appeals from the district court's order dismissing his motion to amend his complaint. Lynch's motion to amend was filed after final judgment was entered on his complaint. Generally, a post-judgment amendment will not be allowed until the judgment is set aside pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 59 or 60. See 6 C. Wright & A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure Sec. 1489, at 445 (1971 & Supp.1988). Additionally, the district court's order was without prejudice because relief was denied on jurisdictional grounds. Fed.R.Civ.P. 41. For these reasons we find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Lynch's motion, and therefore we affirm the order of the district court. We dispense with oral argument and deny Lynch's request for counsel because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively.
AFFIRMED.
