OPINION OF THE COURT
Because appellant's Rule 60(b) motion did not toll the time for appealing the Territorial Court's dismissal of these actions for lack of prosecution, appellant's appeal of the dismissal was not timely. We, therefore, lack jurisdiction to review the order of dismissal. We do, however, have jurisdiction to consider appellant's timely appeal of the trial court's denial of the Rule 60(b) motion for relief from judgment. For the reasons stated below, we vacate the trial court's order denying the motion and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
