    Before MELLOY, FAGG, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

    PER CURIAM.
    Franks Construction, Inc. (Franks) appeals the district court’s1 adverse
    judgment after a bench trial, of its 
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     complaint, in which Franks
    claimed that the City of Heber Springs, Arkansas, violated its substantive due process
    rights by failing to award Franks a construction contract after it submitted the lowest
    bid. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude that
    1
    The Honorable William R. Wilson, Jr., United States District Judge for the
    Eastern District of Arkansas.
    the district court’s decision was proper. See County of Sacramento v. Lewis, 
    523 U.S. 833
    , 847 (1998). We also conclude that the district court did not abuse its
    discretion in denying Franks’s postjudgment motion.
    Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
