1Opinion of the Court
RHESA HAWKINS BARKSDALE, Circuit Judge:
At issue in these three related actions are the use of belated and extremely intemperate post-judgment motions, filed pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(6), seeking, primarily because of the trial judge’s club memberships and other social contacts, to disqualify him under 28 U.S.C. § 455(a) (judge’s “impartiality might reasonably be questioned”), and, therefore, to set aside the adverse judgments. The district court denied the motions as being untimely, and, alternatively, without merit. We AFFIRM and impose sanctions.
I
