Filing 35

ORDER Denying 34 Plaintiff's Motion for Relief from Judgment. Signed by District Judge Mark A. Goldsmith. (Goltz, D)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

LONNIE BAKER,
Plaintiff,

Civil Action No.
11-CV-14086

vs.
HON. MARK A. GOLDSMITH
LNV CORPORATION,
Defendant.
____________________/
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM JUDGMENT
On July 25, 2013, the Court accepted the recommendation contained in the Report
and Recommendation (“R&R”) of Magistrate Judge Paul J. Komives, issued on June 25,
2013, which recommended that Defendant’s motion to dismiss be granted and that the case
be dismissed. On July 29, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion for relief from judgment under
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). In the motion, Plaintiff expresses his disagreement
with the Court’s decision to dismiss the case and states that he “has a right to defend and fight
for [his] Property and [he] is going to do just that.” However, nothing that Plaintiff writes in
his motion convinces the Court that its decision to dismiss the case was erroneous. Having
considered Plaintiff’s motion, the Court concludes that Plaintiff is not entitled to relief under
Rule 60(b). Accordingly, the motion (Dkt. 34) is denied.
If Plaintiff believes that the Court erred in its handling of this case, the proper
recourse is appeal the Court’s judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth
Circuit.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: August 1, 2013
