" 

On April 30, 1987, appellant appealed to the district court 

from orders of the bankruptcy court denying his complaint objecting to the discharge of debts and denying his motion for 

reconsideration. On July 9, 1987, the district court entered an 

order directing appellant to show cause within ten days why his 

appeal should not be dismissed for failure to file a brief. When 

appellant failed to respond to the show cause order, the district 

court dismissed the appeal on July 28, 1987, for failure to 

prosecute. On August 3, 1987, appellant filed a motion to 

reconsider. In a minute order filed August 20, 1987, the district 

court denied the motion. 

On appeal, appellant argues the district court abused its 

discretion when it refused to reconsider its order dismissing the 

appeal despite evidence of good faith mistakes and no evidence of 

prejudice or misconduct. After reviewing the briefs and record on 

appeal, we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion to reconsider. See Greenwood Explorations, Ltd. v. Merit Gas & Oil Corp., 

(10th Cir. filed January 14, 1988). 

F. 2d No. 85-2634 

The judgment of the United States District Court for the 

District of Colorado is AFFIRMED. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
