1Opinion of the Court
STREIT, Judge.
Pete Gouge appeals from the district court’s refusal to reform or rescind a settlement agreement he signed obligating him individually, rather than his corporation, to pay benefits to an injured employee. He claims mutual mistake, fraud, and inequitable conduct as grounds for reformation or rescission. Because Gouge has not proven any of these grounds, we affirm. the trial courts ruling obligating him to the terms of the agreement.
