Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that “comity among the federal district courts is furthered if the registering court refers the question of relief to the court which ordinarily entered the judgment.”
• stating that Rule 60(b)(4) challenges to default judgments are one of two exceptions to the general rule that Rule 60(b) motions must be addressed to the rendering court
• stating in dicta that a registering court could consider the claim that the rendering court lacked personal jurisdiction
• noting neither the parties nor the court itself could find a single case “where a court of registration was willing to entertain directly a Rule 60(b) motion other than one attacking a default judgment for lack of personal jurisdiction”
• “Courts of registration presented with Rule 60(b) motions have themselves shown a marked reluctance to entertain them, generally deferring to the rendering courts.”
• as Advisory Committee Notes indicate, \the Rule expressly preserves independent equitable actions\ available \prior to the Rule's enactment\
