Tyson Foods, Inc., 620 F.3d 873, 879 (8th Cir. 2010) (denying a Rule 60(d)(3) motion filed five years after judgment because the litigant was not without fault and the rule has an “equitable requirement that the party seeking relief be free from negligence and fault”); SDDS, Inc. v. South Dakota (In re SDDS, Inc.), 225 F.3d 970, 972 (8th Cir. 2000) (holding that a Rule 60(b) motion cannot “be used to collaterally attack a final court of appeals’ ruling in lieu of a proper petition for review in the United States Supreme Court”), cert. denied, 532 U.S. 1007 (2001).
