Willie K. Jackson, Appellant v. Amie Sey, Appellee

Summary

The court reversed the dismissal of Jackson’s post-judgment motion for relief under Civil Rule 60(b) and remanded for consideration of that motion on its merits. It held that a post-judgment Rule 60(b) motion is not a pending case subject to dismissal for failure to prosecute, and that Jackson’s timely motion could not be treated as untimely after the superior court authorized additional discovery without setting a new deadline. The court declined to consider Jackson’s separate void-judgment argument because it had not first been presented to the superior court and held that his direct challenges to the divorce decree were untimely. No separate opinions were filed.
