In Spite Of the U.S. Supreme Court’s choice in AMG Capital Management v. Federal Trade Commission, 593 U.S. 67 (2021 ), holding that Area 13( b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act does not enable fair financial relief, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit verified the rejection of a Guideline 60( b)( 6) movement to abandon a specified judgment for payment of fair financial relief that was gotten in before the AMG choice was released. See FTC v. Elite IT Partners, — F. fourth–, 2024 U.S. App. LEXIS 1473 (10th Cir. Jan. 23, 2024).
