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

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.
