Does Rule 58 require the filing of a separate document with respect to a final judgement and not to an order denying a Rule 59 motion for new trial?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Reliance Ins. Co. v. Lipke, 927 F.2d 610 (9th Cir. 1991):
1 Alternatively, we have held that Rule 58 requires the filing of a separate document with respect to a final judgement, and not to an order denying a Rule 59 motion for new trial. See Hollywood v. City of Santa Maria, 886 F.2d 1228, 1231 (9th Cir.1989). While this opinion concerned a Rule 59 motion, the reasoning behind this decision applies similarly to the present case. However, as we find that a separate judgement was actually filed we need not reach this issue.
