Town of Kittery v. Dineen
Town of Kittery v. Dineen
Opinion of the Court
[¶ 1] James M. Dineen appeals from a judgment of the District Court (York, Wheeler, J.) denying his'motion to alter or amend an order of the court denying Dineen’s motion for relief from judgment from five disclosure orders dated September 16, 2002. The disclosure orders, from which no appeal was taken by Dineen; ordered that money judgments against Dineen arising from Dineen’s violation of the automobile graveyard statute, 30-A M.R.S.A. § 3753 (Supp. 2004), be paid from the estate of Dineen’s mother. The District Court neither erred nor acted beyond its discretion in concluding that the motion for relief from judgment was without merit and was not brought within a reasonable time pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 60(b). See KeyBank Nat’l Ass’n v. Sargent, 2000 ME 153, ¶ 13, 758 A.2d 528, 533.
