-- 1 of 2 --

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Den Beste’s motion
to vacate its judgment because Den Beste failed to establish any basis for such
relief. See id. at 1263 (setting forth grounds to vacate judgment).
Den Beste’s opposed motion to strike appellees’ briefs and for sanctions,
filed on October 7, 2013, is denied.
AFFIRMED.
