Before FAGG, BEAM, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
                          _____________

PER CURIAM.

       A. Marie Young brought this lawsuit against Nissan Motor Corp., U.S.A.,
alleging she was injured when the airbag in her 1993 Infiniti automobile deployed in
a collision with another motor vehicle. The district court granted Nissan summary
judgment and imposed a monetary sanction because Young failed to disclose she had
signed a general release discharging all claims arising out of the collision. On appeal,
Young contends the district court failed to specify whether the court sanctioned Young
or her attorney and the court's ruling was an abuse of discretion. We disagree. Having
reviewed the record, we conclude Young's claims are unsupported by the record and
without legal merit. We thus affirm the district court's judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      We also deny Nissan's motion to dismiss the appeal as untimely.

      A true copy.
