which by due diligence could not have been discovered

in time to move for a new trial under Rule 59(b); (3)

fraud (whether heretofore denominated intrinsic or 

extrinsic), misrepresentation, or other misconduct of

an adverse party; (4) the judgment is void; (5) the

judgment has been satisfied, released or discharged, or

a prior judgment upon which it is based has been

application; or (6) any other reason justifying relief

from the operation of the judgment.

Petitioner does not demonstrate he is entitled to

relief from judgment.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s September 20,

2005 request for trial de novo or to reopen case be, and the same

hereby is, DENIED.
