Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The district court erred in relying on F.R.C.P. 60(b)(6) as a basis for granting the United States’ motion for post judgment relief. That part of Rule 60(b) applies only to cases that do not fall into any of the other categories listed in parts (l)-(5) of Rule 60(b). This result is evident from the Rule’s language and structure. “ ‘[T]he very cast of the Rule and the language of clause (6) indicate that this residual clause is dealing with matter not covered in the preceding five clauses. Further, the maximum time limitation ... that applies to clause (1), (2) and (3) would be meaningless, if after the ... period had run the movant could be granted relief under clause (6) for reasons covered by clauses (1), (2) and (3).’ “From the categories available under Rule 60(b), the United States’ failure to request costs as part of the judgment can only be classified as a mistake, inadvertence or neglect. “We decide that the government waived its right to file a motion to tax costs in the face of a final judgment which states that no costs would be taxed. Rule 59(e)[, Fed.R.Civ.P.,] permits a litigant to move the court to alter or amend a judgment within ten days. Rule 60(b)(l)[, Fed.R.Civ.P.,] permits a litigant to move the court within a reasonable time not to exceed one year for relief from a final judgment. Additionally, we have held that ‘[a] final judgment under Rule 60(b) is any judgment that is an appealable order.’ Thus, the government’s only avenue of relief, if any exists,”
