Fed. Sec. L. Rep. P 93,298, RICO Bus.Disp.Guide 6678
PER CURIAM:
Plaintiff pro se John P. Cahill appeals from a December 22, 1986 judgment
entered in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York ("1986 Judgment"), Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, Judge, (1) summarily
dismissing his complaint against defendant Arthur Andersen & Company
("Andersen"), which alleged that Andersen had conspired with others in
violation of, inter alia, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act,
18 U.S.C. Sec. 1961 et seq. (1982), and Sec. 10(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 78j(b) (1982), to force Cahill to sell his interest in
Corporate Time-Sharing Services, Inc., and (2) denying his motion pursuant to
Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) to vacate the judgment in Cahill v. Chambers, 82 Civ. 6327
(S.D.N.Y. Apr. 14, 1983) ("1983 Judgment"), which had been entered pursuant
to an agreement among all of the parties therein, who did not include Andersen,
to settle Cahill's similar claims against the defendants therein. We find no abuse
of discretion in the denial of relief from the 1983 Judgment, and we affirm the
1986 Judgment on the ground that the 1983 Judgment constituted res judicata
for the reasons stated by Judge Cedarbaum in her opinion dated December 17,
1986, published at 659 F.Supp. 1115.
