CONCURRING OPINION
Staton, P.J.
I concur. Negotiations between the parties here is only important under Ind. Rules of Procedure, Trial Rule 60(B) (1) and (3) where one of the parties has suffered *15a default judgment by reason of the negotiations. Later negotiations can only be considered if they entice the defaulted party to forego the setting aside of the default judgment within the one year limitation period. Assuming that grounds existed to set the judgment aside, an enticement to forego the setting aside would create sufficient grounds under TR. 60(B) (8). Without such an enticement, the issues that could have been litigated, including Gilmore’s Counterclaim, are res judicata.
