U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 21-2365
and No: 21-2556
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Central
[PUBLISHED] [Arnold, Author, with Loken and Kobes, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Civil procedure.The district court did not err in entering
judgment based on plaintiff's timely acceptance of an offer of judgment -
see Perkins v. U.S. W. Commc'ns, 138 F.3d, 336, 339 (8th Cir. 1998); in
this set of circumstances, the district court's post-judgment order
denying plaintiff's recusal motion was not final and appealable and
plaintiff's notice of appeal from that order and a subsequently-entered
order on attorneys' fees and costs was timely and within this court's
jurisdiction to consider; the district court did not abuse its discretion
in denying the recusal motion - see Oden v. Shane Smith Enters., Inc., 27
F.4th 631 (8th Cir. 2022); award of $1 in attorneys' fees was not an abuse
of the district court's discretion.
