BLOM Bank SAL, Petitioner v. Michal Honickman, et al.

The Supreme Court held that a party seeking to reopen a final judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(6) must demonstrate extraordinary circumstances, even if their goal is merely to file an amended complaint. The Court rejected the argument that the more lenient standard for amending pleadings under Rule 15(a) should relax the strict requirements for vacating a judgment.
