No. 94-1153.

United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.

Dec. 22, 1994.

Before BALDOCK and McKAY, Circuit Judges, and VRATIL,^** District Judge.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT1

2

Defendant-appellant Meyer Blinder appeals the order of the district court denying his motion to set aside a default judgment and a second order accepting the magistrate judge's recommendation as to the amount of damages and ordering the clerk to enter judgment against defendant in the amount of $8,467,888. We have jurisdiction to review these final orders under 28 U.S.C. 1291.

3

The parties are familiar with the facts of this case and the holdings of the district court. We have reviewed those holdings and have considered the parties' briefs, the record on appeal, and the applicable law. Finding no reversible error, the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado is AFFIRMED.
