Chandler v. Johnson (In re Ortiz)
Chandler v. Johnson (In re Ortiz)
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel correctly dismissed Chandler’s appeals of the bankruptcy court’s entry of a default judgment of contempt against him. Chandler was clearly apprised of the contempt proceedings and the bankruptcy court’s entry of a default judgment of contempt. However, he didn’t move the bankruptcy court to set aside the entry of the default judgment or for relief from the default judgment. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(c), 60(b). An appeal “ ‘cannot be used as a substitute’ for these procedures.” Consorzio Del Prosciutto Di Parma v. Domain Name Clearing Co., 346 F.3d 1193, 1195 (9th Cir. 2003) (quoting Rohauer v. Friedman,
AFFIRMED.
