Nev. R. Civ. P. 60
Advisory Committee Note-2019 Amendment
The amendments generally conform Rule 60 to FRCP 60, including incorporating FRCP 60(b)(6) as Rule 60(b)(6). The Rule 60(c) time limit for filing a Rule 60(b)(l)-(3) motion, however, remains at 6 months consistent with the former Nevada rule. Rule 60(d)(2) preserves the first sentence of former NRCP 60(c) respecting default judgments. The amendments eliminate the remaining portion of former NRCP 60(c) and former NRCP 60(d) as superfluous.
Drafter's Note
2004 Amendment
Subdivision (b) is amended to incorporate the 1946 amendment to the federal rule, which added newly discovered evidence as a ground for relief under subdivision (b). The revised rule does not include the provision in the federal rule for relief under subdivision (b) based on "any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment." Subdivision (b) is also amended by deleting the reference to fraud that "would have theretofore justified a court in sustaining a collateral attack upon the judgment"-language that does not appear in the current federal rule. Subdivision (b) is further amended by adding language, consistent with the federal rule, that abolishes "[w]rits of coram nobis, coram vobis, audita querela, and bills of review and bills in the nature of a bill of review." Finally, subdivision (b) retains the 6-month limit on motions based on the first three grounds stated in the revised rule rather than the 1-year limit provided by the federal rule. But the provision is revised so that the 6-month limit starts to run from service of written notice of entry of the judgment or order.
Subdivisions (c) and (d), which do not appear in the federal rule, are retained. The revisions to subdivision (c) are technical with the exception that the 6-month limit now starts to run from service of notice of entry of the judgment rather than "the date of rendition" of the judgment under the former rule.
