Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Jason D. Besler, Judge.  AFFIRMED.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., Ahlers, J., and Danilson, S.J.  Opinion by Tabor, P.J.  (14 pages)

            Kenneth Dolezal appeals the denial of his motion to withdraw admissions concerning his father’s mental capacity to make a will and the grant of summary judgment to the executor.  OPINION HOLDS: Because we find no abuse of discretion in the denial of withdrawal and summary judgment was appropriate for lack of genuine issue of material fact, we affirm.
