Plaintiff-Appellant, JACOB TEITELBAUM, pro se, pursuant to Local Rule 27.1 and

Rule 27(b) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure ("FRAP"), respectfully moves and

requests this Court upon the Declaration ofPlaintiff-Appellant dated April 13,2014­

(a) to reconsider its April 3, 2014 order, dismissing Plaintiff-Appellant's Appeal for

not filing a timely Notice ofAppeal and denying Plaintiff-Appellant's Motion for

in forma pauperis status as moot,

(b) to admit Plaintiff-Appellant's Notice of Appeal, and

(c) to grant in forma pauperis status to Plaintiff-Appellant.

Under Rule 4(a)( 4)(A) ofFRAP, if a party files in the District Court, among others, a

motion "for relief under Rule 60" ofFederal Rules ofCivil Procedure ("FRCP"), and "if the

motion is filed no later than 28 days after the judgment is entered, the time to file an appeal runs

for all parties from the entry of the order disposing of the last such remaining motion".

.... -- ..

As explained in succeeding paragraphs, Plaintiff-Appellant's Notice of Appeal was

timely filed according to the FRAP and filing records.

The District Court for Southern District ofNew York (the "District Court"), presided by

Hon. Vincent L. Briccetti, Judge, filed and entered a judgment in action entitled Teitelbaum v.

Katz et aI12-CV-2858 on July 2,2013 ("Judge Briccetti's judgment").

Thereafter, Plaintiff-Appellant invoked the provisions ofRule 60 ofFRCP, and filed a

new complaint in the District Court as an independent action pursuant to Rule 60(d) ofFRCP on

or about July 30,2013; i.e., within 28 days of the entry of July 2,2013 judgment.

Plaintiff-Appellant's new complaint was dismissed by Chief United States District Judge,

Loretta A. Preska, in her judgment entered on October 2,2013 ("Judge Preska's judgment").

Plaintiff-Appellant then filed a motion for reconsideration ofJudge Preska's judgment

pursuant to Rules 50, 52, 59, and 60 ofFRCP and Local Rule 6.3 in the District Court on

October 30,2013; i.e., within 28 days of the entry ofJudge Preska's judgment.

Plaintiff-Appellant's motion for reconsideration ofJudge Preska's judgment was denied

by Chief United States District Judge, Loretta A. Preska, in her order issued on December 17,

2013, which order was entered on December 18, 2013.

Because both the new complaint brought by Plaintiff-Appellant and his motion for

reconsideration of Judge Preska's judgment were filed for relief, among others, under Rule 60 of

FRCP; the time to file Appeal, pursuant to Rule 4(a)(4)(A) ofFRAP, runs from entry of the order

disposing of the last motion; which, in the present case, was entered on December 18, 2013.

As such, Plaintiff-Appellant' s Notice of Appeal from Judge Briccetti' s judgment (entered

on July 2,2013) was timely filed on January 9, 2014 in keeping with the provisions ofRule

4(a)(4)(A) ofFRAP.

presided by Hon. Vincent L. Briccetti, Judge, filed and entered a judgment (Teitelbaum V Katz

et aI12-CV-2858) on 07/02/2013 ("Judge Briccetti's judgment").

3. As Judge Briccetti's judgment was vitiated by fraud, in which Judge Briccetti

was himself involved, I filed a new complaint as an independent action pursuant to Rule 60( d) of

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in the District Court on or about 07/30/2013; i.e., within 28

days of entry ofJudge Briccetti's judgment.

4. Along with my new complaint, I also filed a "Request to proceed informa

pauperis" in the District Court on 07/30/2013.

5. Both my new complaint and "Request to proceed in forma pauperis" were entered

on the docket ofthe case on 08/0112013.

50, 52, 59, and 60 ofthe Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Local Rule 6.3 of the District

Court, as well as a motion for recusal and/or disqualification along with my supporting affidavit,

in the District Court on 10130120l3; i.e., within 28 days ofthe entry ofJudge Presca's judgment.

Order").

9. I filed Notice ofAppeal from Judge Briccetti's judgment in the United States

Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on or about 01/09/2014, and said Notice of Appeal was

entered on 01/14/2014.

10. Along with Notice of Appeal, I also filed motion for leave to appeal informa

pauperis in the United States Court ofAppeals for the Second Circuit.

11. The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in an order issued on

April 3, 2014, has sua sponte held that my Notice ofAppeal was untimely filed, and

consequently dismissed my Appeal for lack ofjurisdiction, and denied the motion for leave to

appeal in forma pauperis as moot.

Judge Preska's judgment were filed for relief, among others, under Rule 60 ofFRCP~ the time to

2,2013) was timely filed on January 9,2014 in keeping with the provisions ofRule 4(a)(4)(A) of

FRAP.

Court reconsider its April 3, 2014 order; and (ii) the Court order that Plaintiff-Appellant's Notice

ofAppeal is admitted, and that Plaintiff-Appellant is granted informa pauperis status.
