How later courts described this case

  • concluding that the only relief under Rule 60(b) is setting aside the judgment
  • “The relief provided by F.R.Civ.P. 60(b), of course, is merely to set aside a judgment.” An order to account for revenues, income, profits and proceeds “was not within the permissible scope of F.R.Civ.P. 60(b).”
