United States Eighth Circuit

In an action brought by a corporation engaged in marketing vehicle warranties against defendants alleging professional-negligence in the preparation of certain financial documents, dismissal of the claims and denial of reconsideration are affirmed where, although the district court abused its discretion by denying plaintiff's Rule 59(e) motion for reconsideration as untimely under a local rule, the error was harmless.
