ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE

This is an appeal from a district court order denying a motion for NRCP 60(b) relief in a real property matter. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Ronald J. Israel, Judge.'

We conclude that the district court was within its discretion to deny appellant's NRCP 60(b) motion. See Rodriguez v. Fiesta Palms, LLC, 134 Nev. 654, 656, 428 P.3d 255, 257 (2018) (The district court has wide discretion in deciding whether to grant or deny a motion to set aside a judgment under NRCP 60(b)."). In particular, the district court was within its discretion in determining that appellant's 13-month delay in seeking relief under NRCP 60(b)(4) was "extremely untimely" and "a prime example of unreasonableness." See NRCP 60(c) (requiring a motion for relief under NRCP 60(b)(4) to be made within a reasonable time"); see also In re Harrison Living Tr., 121 Nev. 217, 222-23, 112 P.3d 1058, 1061-62 (2005) (holding that even allegedly void judgments are subject to what is now NRCP 60(c)'s reasonableness requirement for seeking relief under NRCP

'Pursuant to NRAP 34(f)(1), we have determined that oral argument is not warranted in this appeal.
