Religious Technology Center v. Henson
Religious Technology Center v. Henson
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
H. Keith Henson appeals pro se the district court’s order denying his March 27, 2000, motion seeking relief from: (1) a May 22, 1998, judgment following a jury verdict in favor of Religious Technology Center; and (2) a July 6, 1999, judgment finding Henson in civil contempt.
Because Henson’s motion was not filed within one year of the judgment entered following the jury verdict, the district court lacked jurisdiction to the extent the motion sought relief from that judgment on the basis of fraud, misrepresentation or other adverse conduct. See Scott, 739 F.2d at 1467.
With respect to the judgment finding Henson in civil contempt, the district court did not err by denying Henson’s motion for relief from that judgment under Fed. R.Civ.P. 60(b)(3) or 60(b)(6). See Lafarge Conseils et Etudes, S.A., 791 F.2d at 1338.
AFFIRMED.
