Before BOWMAN, BRIGHT, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Michael Newhouse appeals the district court's1 order granting Ford Motor
Company's motion to enforce a settlement agreement. Because Newhouse failed to
carry his burden to show that his attorney lacked authority to enter into the settlement,
see Turner v. Burlington N. R.R. Co., 

, 345-46 (8th Cir. 1985), we affirm
the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We deny appellee's pending
motion as moot.

       The Honorable Howard F. Sachs, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
