Andre Howell v. Urban League of Rhode…

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of the appellant’s Rule 60(b) motion, holding that the hearing justice did not abuse discretion in rejecting relief under both Rule 60(b)(1) and Rule 60(b)(6). The Court explained that a mistake of law is not covered by Rule 60(b)(1) and that Rule 60(b)(6) is not a catch‑all provision, requiring extraordinary circumstances to grant relief.
