Moores v. Doyle

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine

Decided August 7, 2003PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtLevy, J.

[¶ 1] Larry Doyle appeals from a judgment entered in the District Court (Calais, Gunther, J.) determining that he is the biological father of Larry C. Moores, d/o/b 7/31/92. Doyle contends that in 1999 the court {Romei, J.) abused its discretion when it granted Dorothy Moores’s motion for relief from judgment pursuant to M.R. Civ. P. 60(b)(6), vacating a 1995 summary judgment in Doyle’s favor and reviving Moores’s paternity action. Doyle also asserts that service was insufficient for both the 1995 paternity complaint and the 1999 Rule 60(b)(6) motion. We affirm the judgment.
