"Whether Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(c)(1) imposes any time limit to set aside a void default judgment for lack of personal jurisdiction."
"had a shot, and I didn't want to give up the opportunity to argue before the Supreme Court."
"Ever since law school it was viewed as a big deal,"
"I had no idea who she was,"
Coney Island Auto Parts, Inc. v. Burton raised whether Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(c)(1) imposes any time limit to set aside a void default judgment for lack of personal jurisdiction. Petitioner Daniel Ginzburg, a solo practitioner from Freehold, New Jersey, made his Supreme Court debut and declined offers from large firms to argue the case himself because he believed it "had a shot" and wanted the opportunity to appear. Ginzburg described the matter as appealing to civil-procedure specialists and said, "Ever since law school it was viewed as a big deal." Opposing counsel was Lisa Blatt, a veteran with 55 Supreme Court arguments; Ginzburg said, "I had no idea who she was." Oral argument was brief, the bench fell quiet after roughly eighteen minutes, Ginzburg said, "If there are no further questions...," and Chief Justice Roberts closed, "Thank you counsel."
