United States First Circuit

In a case arising out of a helicopter accident and involving Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(3), which allows a party to ask for a new trial on the grounds that an opponent has committed "misconduct" during discovery, alleging that defendant withheld discoverable information directly responsive to plaintiff's document requests, the matter is remanded for further proceedings where the district court misconstrued the requirements of the Rule 60(b)(3) burden-shifting inquiry set forth in Anderson v. Cryovac, Inc., 862 F.2d 910 (1st Cir. 1988).
