Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Paul D. Scott, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered without oral argument by Greer, P.J., and Badding and Chicchelly, JJ.  Opinion by Badding, J.  (4 pages)

            Jon Anderson appeals the dismissal of his civil suit alleging pervasive “fraud upon the court” in prior legal proceedings.  OPINION HOLDS: Anderson failed to preserve error on the question of whether he was entitled to entry of default, and his arguments on appeal do not address the dispositive grounds for dismissal.  We decline to make those arguments for him.  We therefore affirm dismissal of Anderson’s petition.
