MULLINS, J.

Monica Clay appeals the district court's order denying her motion to remove her personal injury case from the operation of Iowa Rule of Civil Procedure 1.944(2) (requiring every civil action be dismissed or tried within one year from the date it is filed and docketed “unless satisfactory reasons for want of prosecution or grounds for continuance be shown”). The order entered by the district court on December 30, 2011, fully identified and considered all the issues presented to it and as raised by Clay in her appeal. We approve of the reasons and conclusions of the order of the district court, and affirm it per Iowa Court Rule 21.29(1)(d) and (e).

AFFIRMED.
