Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
(6:04-CV-217)
--------------------
Before KING, WIENER, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges
PER CURIAM:*
Plaintiff-Appellant Robert Gray Robinson, proceeding pro se,
purports to appeal several adverse rulings, the latest of which
appears to be the April 20, 2005 Order of the Magistrate Judge in
the Eastern District of Texas denying Robinson’s motion for a new
trial, construed as a motion for relief from judgment pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). We affirm.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that
this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except
under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
Our careful review of the record on appeal demonstrates that
this case has a particularly long, convoluted, and —— for the most
part —— meritless and frivolous history, including, without
limitation, the addition and deletion of parties, both public and
private, and several instances of removal and remand between state
and federal courts. Also obvious from the record is the
longstanding displeasure of the pro se plaintiff, apparently
originating with a state law real estate foreclosure action, and
growing exponentially from there.
At least as to those issues of this lengthy and tortured
litigation that are implicated in today’s appeal, it is long since
time to stop the twisting and turning and lay it to rest, once and
for all. Now, therefore, for the reasons expressed in the several
rulings of the district judge or the magistrate judge at issue
here, each order, judgment, and ruling before us on appeal is, in
every respect, affirmed.
In addition, Robinson is cautioned that, despite proceeding
pro se and thus enjoying a bit more latitude from us than would
retained or appointed counsel, no further pursuit of these matters
will be tolerated. Any prolongation or continuation of any of the
matters covered by our ruling on appeal today shall expose him to
the full panoply of sanctions and penalties at our disposal for
meritless, frivolous, or contumacious continuation of this
litigation or any aspect thereof, in this or any other federal
court of this circuit.

AFFIRMED.
