What is the test for seeking relief from judgment under Rule 60(b)(6)?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from In re Adkins, Case No. 15-22784-B-13 (Bankr. E.D. Cal. 2015):

Relief from judgment for "any other reason" under Rule 60(b)(6) is limited to exceptional or extraordinary circumstances, and the moving party bears the burden of establishing the existence of such circumstances. In re Martinelli, 96 B.R. 1011, 1013 (9th Cir. BAP 1988) (citations omitted). Motions for reconsideration which revisit the same issues already ruled upon, or which advance supporting facts that were available when the issues were originally briefed, will generally not be granted. Alexander v. Bleau (In re Neqrete), 183 B.R. 195, 197 (9th Cir. BAP 1995 (citation omitted)).
