Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
JOSÉ A. CABRANES, Circuit Judge:
The principal question in this appeal is whether a judgment for damages must be amended pursuant to Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure where plaintiffs have partially recovered from other sources and have agreed to use this partial recovery as a “set-off’ against the judgment. For the reasons stated below, we hold that the relief available under Rule 60(b) is both discretionary and equitable, and that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendants’ motion for post-judgment relief.
