Concurring Opinion
Garrard, J.
This case discloses another of the potential quandaries existing in the outer reaches of Indiana Rules of Procedure, Trial Rules 59 and 60 where potential overlaps, the time for commencing an appeal, and the requirement that a TR. 59 motion follow the ruling on a TR. 60 motion create procedural pitfalls that any counsel will find difficult to avoid.
I agree, however, that in this proceeding the dilemma is solved with certainty. The basis for the relief subsequently requested under the TR. 60(B) motion was identical to the basis for relief requested in the original TR. 59 motion. No appeal was taken from the denial of the original TR. 59 motion. The appellant is bound by the “waiver” thus effected and was correctly precluded from his attempt to relitigate the error through TR. 60(B). See, Warner v. Young America VoL. Fire Dept. (1975), 164 Ind. App. 140, 326 N.E.2d 831.
