Rule 60(c)(1)
Definition
The timing provision of Rule 60 that requires motions for relief under Rule 60(b) to be made within a 'reasonable time.' For motions under subsections (b)(1) through (b)(3), there is also a one-year outer limit. The central dispute in this case is whether the 'reasonable time' requirement applies to 60(b)(4) motions challenging void judgments.
Examples
- •The lower courts denied Coney Island's motion because they found it was not filed within a reasonable time as required by Rule 60(c)(1).
