United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ Nos. 01-1526/2434 ___________ United States of America, * * Appellee, * * v. * * Lamont D. Hill, * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the Appellant, * District of South Dakota. * Janet Thompson; Shield Partnership; * Ross Hill; Jody Hill; Kenneth * [UNPUBLISHED] Falkenhagen; Asmussen Grain, Inc.; * Robert Joachim, doing business as * Joachim Brothers Partnership; Pioneer * Hi-Breed International, Inc.; Barber * Farm Service; Keltgen Seed Company; * Aberdeen Association of Orthopedic * Surgeons; Sully County, a political * subdivision of the State of South * Dakota, * * Defendants. * ___________ Submitted: November 29, 2001 Filed: December 14, 2001 ___________ Before BOWMAN, BRIGHT, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. In these consolidated appeals, Lamont Hill challenges orders of the district court1 which confirmed a foreclosure sale (No. 01-1526), and denied relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b), denied his recusal motion, and imposed sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 (No. 01-2434). We dismiss appeal No. 01-1526 as moot. See United States v. Fitzgerald,
109 F.3d 1339, 1342 (8th Cir. 1997) (once foreclosed property is sold to third-party purchaser, court generally lacks power to craft remedy for debtor; therefore, debtor who fails to obtain stay of sale has no remedy on appeal and appeal is moot). As to appeal No. 01-2434, we conclude after careful review of the record that the district court's rulings were within its discretion. See Brooks v. Ferguson- Florissant Sch. Dist.,
113 F.3d 903, 905 (8th Cir. 1997) (Rule 60(b) standard of review); Isakson v. First Nat'l Bank, Sioux Falls,
985 F.2d 984, 986 (8th Cir. 1993) (per curiam)(Rule 11 standard of review); United States v. Faul,
748 F.2d 1204, 1211 (8th Cir. 1984)(recusal standard of review), cert. denied,
472 U.S. 1027(1985). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. 1 The Honorable Charles B. Kornmann, United States District Judge for the District of South Dakota. -2-
