IN RE: Kehinde Adeyemi ELEBUTE (2020)

In his bankruptcy proceeding, Kehinde Adeyemi Elebute brought an adversary proceeding alleging wrongful foreclosure against Village Capital. The bankruptcy court granted summary judgment against Elebute. Several months later, Elebute sought to vacate the judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(1). Elebute argued that the bankruptcy court had mistakenly relied on an unsigned sales contract in granting summary judgment. The bankruptcy court denied that motion, and the district court affirmed that denial. Seeing no abuse of discretion in the bankruptcy court’s refusal to reopen the case, we also AFFIRM its denial of Rule 60(b)(1) relief.
