   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Melloy, Circuit 
   Judge] 
   Civil case - Labor law. The district court did not err in denying 
   plaintiff's application for leave to file suit under 29 U.S.C. Sec. 501(b) 
   as the application failed to make the necessary showing that there was an 
   objectively reasonable ground to believe that the union's accounting or 
   other action was not legitimate; the request, in addition to failing to 
   show good cause, was subject to a more fundamental failure to meet the 
   condition precedent of a timely and appropriate request to sue or recover 
   damages or secure an accounting or other appropriate relief within a 
   reasonable time; defendant's cross-appeal on the issue of whether the 
   district court abused its discretion in granting plaintiff permission to 
   file a late notice of appeal is dismissed as moot.
