ORDER AND JUDGMENT ROBERT E. BACHARACH, Circuit Judge. Mr. Karl Losee is a state prisoner who sued under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the defendants violated his constitutional rights. The district court dismissed the claims against Mr. Wayne Freestone and Mr. David Angerhofer and granted

summary judgment to the remaining defendants. The district court entered final judgment on April 3, 2014. Mr. Losee moved to alter or amend the judgment, and the district court denied the motion. Eight days later, Mr. Losee appealed, but did not say whether he was appealing the judgment or the order denying his motion to alter or amend. We affirm. Appeal of the Judgment The threshold issue involves the extent of our appellate jurisdiction. In our view, jurisdiction is confined to review of the order denying the motion to alter or amend. To appeal the underlying judgment, Mr.

Losee had to file the notice of appeal within 30 days of the entry of judgment. Mr. Losee didn’t file anything in this 30-day period. But 55 days after entry of the judgment, he filed a motion to alter or amend the judgment, invoking Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 59(

e) and 60(b). This kind of motion can toll the time to file a notice of appeal regarding the judgment, but only if the motion is filed within 28 days of the entry of judgment. This 28-day period had ended long before Mr. Losee filed his motion. “Compliance with filing requirements is mandatory and jurisdictional.” We lack jurisdiction to review the judgment because

(1) Mr. Losee waited more than 30 days to file the notice of appeal and (2) his post-judgment motion was not filed within the 28-day period. Appeal of the Order Denying the Motion to Alter or Amend But Mr. Losee filed the notice of appeal within 30 days of the denial of his motion to alter or amend the judgment. Thus, we have jurisdiction to review that ruling. In the motion, Mr. Losee argued that the district court had “committed plain and fatal error in ordering the grant of

summary judgment ... since the defendants openly admitted guilt ... and because the pleadings filed, when viewed in the light most favorable to the petitioner, ... [were] enough to defeat

summary judgment.” In response, the defendants argued that Mr. Losee had failed to show “an intervening change in the controlling law, new evidence previously unavailable, or the need to correct clear error or prevent manifest injustice.” The district court denied Mr. Losee’s motion, explaining that it had “thoroughly revisited its Order granting

summary judgment and [saw:] no error, plain or otherwise, that call[ed] into question the correctness of its ruling.” We review that ruling for abuse of discretion. Applying this standard, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion because

(1) Rules 59(

e) and 60(

b) cannot be used to reargue points already briefed and decided, and

(2) Mr. Losee’s argument consisted only of a single conclusory sentence saying that the district court should not have granted the

summary judgment motion. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order denying the motion to alter or amend the judgment. Appellant’s Motion for Leave to Proceed Without Prepayment of Costs or Fees is-granted. Mr. Losee is reminded that he is obligated to continue making partial payments until the entire fee has been paid. The parties do not request oral argument, and the Court has determined that oral argument would not materially aid our consideration of the appeal. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). Thus, we have decided the appeal based on the briefs.

Our order and judgment does not constitute binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. . Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). . See Fed.
