Neumann v. Prudential Insurance Co. of America

How courts have described this case

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

• “[T]he decision to grant or deny a Rule 60(b)(6) motion, as with all Rule 60 motions, is committed to the court’s sound discretion.”
• “Although the parties in Bancorp, unlike the parties here, settled before seeking vacatur, this distinction is not material; it does not affect the basic principle that post-judgment vacatur should issue only in extraordinary circumstances.”
• “[S]ettlement conditioned on post-judgment vacatur, in sharp contrast to prejudgment settlement” encourages litigants to forgo “settlement early in the litigation process, hoping to either prevail at trial or . . . bargain away any adverse decision.”
