SUMMARY ORDER

Rulings by summary order do not have precedential effect. Citation to a summary order filed on or after January 1, 2007, is permitted and is governed by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 32.1 and this Court's Local Rule 32.1.1. When citing a summary order in a document filed with this Court, a party must cite either the Federal Appendix or an electronic database (with the notation "summary order"). A party citing a summary order must serve a copy of it on any party not represented by counsel.

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the June 28, 2017 order of the District Court be AFFIRMED.

Plaintiffs-Counter-Defendants-Appellants appeal the District Court's order denying their motions, filed pursuant to Rules 60(b) and 62(b)(4) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to vacate the judgment entered against them and to stay enforcement of the judgment pending decision on the motion to vacate. We assume the parties' familiarity with the underlying facts, the procedural history of the case, and the issues on appeal.

We conclude that Plaintiffs-Counter-Defendants-Appellants have abandoned any objection they could have made to the order because their opening brief fails to address the principal dispositive grounds on which the District Court based its decision to deny their motions and because we see no manifest injustice in the result. See, e.g., United States v. Joyner, 313 F.3d 40, 44 (2d Cir. 2002).1

CONCLUSION

We have reviewed all of the arguments raised by Plaintiffs-Counter-Defendants-Appellants on appeal and find them to be without merit. We therefore AFFIRM the June 28, 2017 order of the District Court.
