c) Timing and Effect of the Motion.
Tming. A motion under Rule 60(b) must be made within a reasonable time—and for reasons (1), (2), and (3) no more than a year after the entry of the judgment or order or the date of the proceeding.
(1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect;
(2) newly discovered evidence that, with reasonable diligence, could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under Rule 59(b);
(3) fraud (whether previously called intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party;
Judge Du threw a ruckus over timing of the motion calling it untimely.
1, 3 is something that can be easily explained .
Regarding 2, how can Mori and Hayashi be considered newly discovered evidence? Can it be argued that the Judge failed to recognize this basic statistical fact due to defendents deceipr. The evidence which was obvious needed more clarification based on original data and when presented with more factual context becomes new evidence ?
What line of thought will adequately hit 1, 2 and 3 such that timing is a moot point?
