PER CURIAM

Plaintiff Keith Sequeira appeals from a September 2, 2016 

order, denying his motion to reopen previous trial court orders 

entered in his Law Against Discrimination (LAD) litigation. We 

affirm.

This appeal is the latest in a series of lawsuits and appeals 

filed by plaintiff against his former employers. In 2014, we 

affirmed the summary judgment dismissal of plaintiff's 2008 LAD 

complaint concerning events that occurred while he was employed 

by Prudential Securities, Inc. and Wachovia Securities LLC. 

Sequeira v. Prudential Equity Grp. LLC, No. A-0734-10 (App. Div. 

Oct. 9, 2014), certif. denied, 222 N.J. 17 (2015) (Sequeira I). 

In 2012, plaintiff filed another complaint (Sequeira II), raising 

many of the same issues raised in Sequeira I. The trial court 

dismissed that litigation, including plaintiff's claims of 
3 A-0657-16T3

fraudulent concealment of evidence. We affirmed the trial court's 

orders.1 Sequeira v. Wells Fargo & Co., No. A-3239-13 (App. Div. 

Feb. 24, 2016). 

On April 15, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion in the trial 

court, seeking to vacate all of the prior trial court orders and 

reinstate his 2008 and 2012 complaints. Plaintiff styled the 

motion as one under Rule 4:50-1(c), claiming that defendants 

obtained all of the prior judgments by "false swearing." Judge 

Joseph P. Quinn granted summary judgment denying the motion, for 

reasons stated in a detailed written opinion.

On this appeal, plaintiff contends that Judge Quinn's 

decision was "an abuse of discretion"; defendants committed "legal 

fraud" and "lied" in their previous summary judgment submissions; 

and the trial court's previous factual findings and legal 

conclusions "were belied by the record." We affirm for the reasons 

stated in Judge Quinn's opinion. 

We add only these comments. As Judge Quinn recognized, this 

appeal is an attempt to reargue the merits of the previous summary 

judgment motions as well as the previous appeals. Further, 

plaintiff's Rule 4:50-1(c) motion was filed years beyond the oneyear time limit set forth in Rule 4:50-2. Plaintiff's appellate 

 

1 We vacated a counsel fee award against plaintiff. However, 

that aspect of our opinion is not relevant here. 
4 A-0657-16T3

arguments are without sufficient merit to warrant further 

discussion. R. 2:11-3(e)(1)(E). 

Affirmed.
