RIVER GLIDER AVENUE TRUST, Appellant, v. WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., AS Indenture TRUSTEE FOR the IMPAC CMB TRUST SERIES 2004-6, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
We conclude that the district court was within its discretion to deny appellant's NRCP 60(b) motion. See Rodriguez v. Fiesta Palms, LLC, 134 Nev. 654, 656, 428 P.3d 255, 257 (2018) (“The district court has wide discretion in deciding whether to grant or deny a motion to set aside a judgment under NRCP 60(b).”). In particular, the district court was within its discretion in determining that appellant's 13-month delay in seeking relief under NRCP 60(b)(4) was “extremely untimely” and “a prime example of unreasonableness.” See NRCP 60(c) (requiring a motion for relief under NRCP 60(b)(4) to be “made within a reasonable time”); see also In re Harrison Living Tr., 121 Nev. 217, 222-23, 112 P.3d 1058, 1061-62 (2005) (holding that even allegedly void judgments are subject to what is now NRCP 60(c)’s reasonableness requirement for seeking relief under NRCP
60(b)(4)). In light of this conclusion, we need not address the district court's alternative basis for denying appellant's motion or the parties’ alternative arguments on appeal. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
