OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Appellants Richard L. Bast, Inter-World Development Corp., and
International Investigations, Inc., appeal the district court's decisions
dismissing their civil action (No. 95-2637), denying their FED. R. CIV.
P. 60(b) motion (No. 96-1038), and imposing FED . R. CIV. P. 11 sanc-
tions (No. 96-1039). We have reviewed the record and the district
court's opinions and find no reversible errors. Accordingly, we affirm

                    4
No. 95-2637 and 96-1038 on the reasoning of the district court, and
affirm No. 96-1039 on the reasoning of the district court only as to
Appellant Bast. Bast v. Glasberg, No. CA-95-531-A (E.D. Va. Aug.
4, 1995; Nov. 20, 1995; Dec. 6, 1995). As to the corporate Appel-
lants, we dismiss No. 96-1039 for lack of prosecution because they
failed to file counsel information, and corporations are not permitted
to proceed without representation.

Additionally, we deny Appellants' motions to stay the proceedings
because of their petitions for bankruptcy. See Alpern v. Lieb, 

(7th Cir. 1993). We deny Appellant Bast's renewed motion to
stay on the basis of his medical condition, deny his motion for addi-
tional time to obtain counsel for the corporate Appellants, and deny
Appellees' motion for summary affirmance. Finally, we grant Appel-
lees' motion for FED. R. APP. P. 38 sanctions and remand to the dis-
trict court for a determination of costs and attorneys' fees.

No. 95-2637 - AFFIRMED

No. 96-1038 - AFFIRMED

No. 96-1039 - AFFIRMED IN PART, DISMISSED IN PART,
AND REMANDED
