Heading: Refusal to Permit the Plaintiffs to Amend

Text: 22 The plaintiffs contend that the district court abused its discretion in denying them leave to amend their complaint after the court entered its order of dismissal. We find no abuse here. The plaintiffs delayed their request until after all discovery and motion deadlines had passed and the case had been dismissed, even though the defendants moved to dismiss the first amended complaint shortly after it was filed. Appellant's App., No. 93-7029, Tab 18 at 8. Since the only reason for plaintiffs' delay appears to have been their willingness to stand on their complaint, we cannot say that the district court abused its discretion in refusing them leave to amend. See Castleglen, Inc. v. Resolution Trust Corp., 984 F.2d 1571, 1585 (10th Cir.1993).
