      The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel correctly dismissed Chandler’s appeals of

the bankruptcy court’s entry of a default judgment of contempt against him.

Chandler was clearly apprised of the contempt proceedings and the bankruptcy

court’s entry of a default judgment of contempt. However, he didn’t move the

bankruptcy court to set aside the entry of the default judgment or for relief from the

default judgment. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(c), 60(b). An appeal “‘cannot be used as

a substitute’ for these procedures.” Consorzio Del Prosciutto Di Parma v. Domain
