Hon. Gene E.K. Pratter (23-CV-D)

10/24 - Advisory Committee considered suggestion (Tab 14 of agenda book) and declined to pursue the suggestion; suggestion removed from agenda.

At the January 2023 Standing Committee meeting, Judge Pratter suggested that the Civil Rules Committee consider whether there is a need to address the recent Supreme Court decision, Kemp v. United States (2022). In that opinion, the Court held that a “mistake” under Civil Rule 60(b)(1) includes a judge’s error of law.
