   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  00-1563
   Eastern District of Missouri   
   Civil case - civil procedure. Post-judgment motion was untimely 
   and did not trigger appeal-tolling provisions of FRAP 4(a)(4)(A)(iv)&(vi); 
   unique circumstances doctrine did not apply to post-judgment ruling 
   because district court recognized that the motion was untimely; as a 
   result, appeal from judgment was untimely and failed to create appellate 
   jurisdiction; appeal from denial of Rule 59(e) could not be considered 
   because the motion was untimely and the district court's ruling on it 
   was a nullity; appeal from denial of post-judgment Rule 60(b) motion 
   was timely, but district court did not abuse its discretion in denying 
   the motion.
