How courts have described this case

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

• reporting that the court of registration, the district court, treated a Rule 60(b) motion for relief from a default judgment alleging that the judgment was void as an independent action
• denying relief from a default judgment entered by Illinois district court without notice to defendant because the Illinois court concluded that defendant had not entered an appearance in the case
• stating party’s neglect and “failure to pursue the adequate and available legal remedy of appeal. . . . [were] clearly a sufficient basis for the denial of any equitable relief . . . .”
• deeming “it appropriate to separately elaborate upon” the defendant’s Rule 55(b)(2) argument
• \Rule 60(b) . . . specifically preserves the right to attack a judgment by an independent equitable action.\
• so construing Rule 60(b) motion, thus avoiding question of \whether Rule 60(b) is a proper means of attacking a judgment entered by a United States District Court sitting in another state\
