PER CURIAM.
In this trust litigation, Eli Stiny appeals following the district court’s1 denial of
a request for an accounting and the court’s order approving the sale of certain trust
property. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal,
we find no basis for reversal. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
