Rule 60.Relief from judgment or order.

A court must correct clerical mistakes or errors from oversight in a judgment, order, or other part of the record, whether on a party's motion or on its own, though once an appeal is pending, that correction requires the appellate court's permission. Beyond clerical fixes, a party can move for relief from a final judgment, order, or proceeding on six grounds: mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect; newly discovered evidence that couldn't have been found in time for a new trial motion; fraud or other misconduct by an opposing party; a void judgment; a judgment that has been satisfied, released, discharged, or based on a since-reversed judgment, or that it would no longer be equitable to enforce; or any other reason justifying relief. A motion on the first three grounds must be filed within a reasonable time and no later than six months after the judgment, order, or proceeding — a deadline that generally can't be extended — while the remaining grounds only require a reasonable time. Filing the motion doesn't affect the judgment's finality or pause its enforcement.

The rule doesn't limit a court's independent authority to hear an action attacking a judgment directly, to grant relief to a defendant who was only served by publication, or to set aside a judgment obtained through fraud on the court itself. Finally, if an Arizona judgment was based on a judgment from another state or country, and that other jurisdiction later reverses or vacates its own judgment, the Arizona court that relied on it must set aside, vacate, and annul its own judgment as well.
