1Opinion of the Court
BURNETT, Judge.
We are asked to decide whether a district judge abused his discretion by dismissing a civil action for lack of prosecution. We hold that he did not.
The pertinent facts are undisputed. Mildred Nagel suffered an injury to her knee during a two-car collision on or about October 19, 1981. The other driver, David B. Wagers, appeared to be at fault. Mrs. Nagel and her attorney contacted Wagers’ insurance company. Settlements were reached on Nagel’s claims for property damage and for temporary loss of the use of her automobile. However, her claim for personal injury was not settled.
