Henry J. Kirksey v. City of Jackson, Mississippi
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided September 9, 1983No. 82-4559PublishedCited by 25 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:
The plaintiffs seek to reopen a case, previously disposed of by a final judgment of dismissal, by a motion invoking the rule that permits a party to be relieved from “a final judgment, order, or proceeding” if “it is no longer equitable that the judgment should have prospective application.” Fed. ,R.Civ.P. 60(b)(5). Because the judgment of dismissal is not prospective in effect, we affirm the judgment of the district court denying reopening.
