ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before TACHA and BALDOCK, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a): 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3. 

Appellate Case: 89-3145 Document: 01019964420 Date Filed: 02/21/1990 Page: 1 
Plaintiff Benjamin Farney appeals from the district court's 

order denying his motion for relief from judgment and permanently 

enjoining him from pursuing all claims against defendant Merrill 

Lynch in Kansas state court. We affirm the order of the district 

court in all respects. Farney's motion asking the district court 

to modify its order dismissing Farney's conversion claim with 

prejudice was untimely under F.R.C.P. 60(b). Under the 

relitigation exception to the Anti-Injunction Act, 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2283, the district court properly enjoined the defendant from 

pursuing his claims in the Kansas state court. The mandate shall 

issue forthwith.
