Capital Liquidators, 984 F.2d 53, 54 (2d Cir. 1993) (per curiam). Rule 60(b) provides for relief from judgment for, inter alia, “newly discovered evidence which by due diligence could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under Rule 59(b).” Because there is no indication that plaintiff-appellant Arvind Parikh could not have discovered this evidence earlier, the District Court acted within its discretion when it denied relief under Rule 60(b). See Boule v. Hutton, 328 F.3d 84, 95 (2d Cir. 2003).
