“decline[d] to follow the earlier cases which state[d] that the [trial court] cannot consider a 60(b) motion after a notice of appeal is filed.... Wé, therefore, adopt[ed] the position adopted by a majority of courts in recent years that the trial court has jurisdiction to consider a 60(b) motion while an appeal is pending..'.'. We farther h[ejld that if the district court finds the motion to be without merit, it may enter an order denying the motion, and the parties may appeal from that or- - der. If, however, the trial court is inclined to grant the motion, counsel should obtain a brief memorandum to that effect from the trial court, and request an order of remand from the appellate court so that the trial, court can enter an order.”
