Defendant - Appellee ____________

Appeal from United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids ____________

Submitted: February 13, 2025 Filed: February 19, 2025 [Unpublished] ____________ Before LOKEN, BENTON, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM.

In each of these consolidated cases, JKW Enterprises, LLC, appeals following the district court’s1 denial of its motion for relief from judgments under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(1). Having jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms the consolidated appeals.

After careful review, this court finds no abuse of discretion in denying the motions to set aside the judgments dismissing both complaints due to lack of counsel. See Giles v. Saint Luke’s Northland-Smithville, 908 F.3d 365, 368 (8th Cir. 2018) (per curiam) (denial of Rule 60(b) motion is reviewed for abuse of discretion, which is only found when district court’s judgment was based on clearly erroneous fact finding or erroneous conclusions of law; reversal is rare because relief under Rule 60 is only authorized in most exceptional cases).

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________
