ORDER 
 This pro se civil-rights case was referred to Magistrate Judge Patricia L. Dodge 
for proceedings in accordance with the Magistrates Act, 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), and the 
Local Rules of Court applicable to Magistrate Judges. 
 On February 7, 2022, the Court dismissed Mr. Kaetz’s case with prejudice and 
Mr. Kaetz’s case was closed. ECF 41. On September 9, 2022, the Third Circuit 
affirmed this Court’s order. ECF 45. Three years after the conclusion of his case, Mr. 
Kaetz moved for the Court to set aside its prior order (ECF 41) and to reopen his case 
under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 60(b)(3) and 60(d)(3). ECF 46. The Court 
denied that motion. ECF 50. 
 Mr. Kaetz now claims that the Court’s latest order (ECF 50) establishes “a new 
and continuing fraud on the Court,” and moves for the Court to set aside its final 
judgment on that basis. ECF 51. Judge Dodge issued a Report and Recommendation 
concluding that the Court should deny Mr. Kaetz’s motion. ECF 54. After reviewing 
Mr. Kaetz’s objections (ECF 45) 
de novo, the Court adopts Judge Dodge’s R&R in full 
and denies Mr. Kaetz’s motion. The Court’s prior order does not establish fraud on 
the Court under Rule 60(d)(3). 
*************** 

-2- 
 
AND NOW, this 2nd day of June , 2026, it is hereby ORDERED that Judge 
Dodge’s R&R (ECF 54) is ADOPTED and Mr. Kaetz’s motion (ECF 51) is DENIED. 
 
 BY THE COURT:
