R. CIV. P.60(b) (made applicable to bankruptcy proceeding by FED. R. BANKR. P. 9024) to set aside the judgmententered on February 24, 2005. That judgment is final, as Mr. Collins did not appeal from it.23242526h:\wp\orders\leasco

1Rule 60 Motion - Jurisdiction23 During the course of that adversary proceeding, all parties (including Mr. Collins)4 removed all state and federal litigation between them to the bankruptcy court, and affirmatively consented5 to the bankruptcy court's jurisdiction to adjudicate all issues between them. Mr. Collins participated,6 though counsel, in all such proceedings, and never raised any jurisdictional objections at any time, nor7 did he or his counsel preserve any such issues nor appeal on such grounds. Accordingly, the Court finds8 and concludes that the arguments regarding improper jurisdiction have been waived.910 Satisfaction of Judflment1112 Mr. Collins also argues that the court's ruling concerning the value of his fees in the13 criminal case was erroneous. This argument should have been made on a direct appeal, but instead Mr.14 Collins chose not to do so. Because this ground to set aside the judgment appears to be that the court15 made a mistake of fact or error of law, it would properly fall within the orbit of FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b)(1).16 Because such grounds must be brought within one year of the judgment (entered February 24, 2005), this17 ground is time-barred. The effort to label it as c. 60(b )( 4) "satisfaction" issue (not time-barred but18 required to be brought within a "reasonable" time) is misplaced.1920212223242526h:\wp\orders\leasco 2

1 Settlement23 Nor did the settlement between the Tenorio Brothers and the Trustee, affect, in a positive4 or negative way, the judgment against Mr. Collins. The settlement was neutral as to him. Moreover,5 since the settlement order is currently on appeal (and has not been stayed), this court is without6 jurisdiction to adjudicate controversies or issues concerning it.7 For these reason, the Rule 60(b) motion shall be DENIED.89DATED: May_!_, 20061011121314151617181920212223242526COPIES served as indicated below this .3_day of May, 2006, upon:Mansfield CollinsLaw Offices of Mansfield Collins3055 Wilshire Blvd., #600Los Angles, CA 90010U.S. Mail and Fax (213-380-4820)Todd M.
